In a world where the industry of mobile applications is continuously expanding and new health care apps and devices are created every day, it is important to take special care of the collection and treatment of users' personal health information. However, the appropriate methods to do this are not usually taken into account by apps designers and insecure applications are released. This paper presents a study of security and privacy in mHealth, focusing on three parts: a study of the existing laws regulating these aspects in the European Union and the United States, a review of the academic literature related to this topic, and a proposal of some recommendations for designers in order to create mobile health applications that satisfy the current security and privacy legislation. This paper will complement other standards and certifications about security and privacy and will suppose a quick guide for apps designers, developers and researchers.

“…Amulet proposes the use of a purpose-designed mHealth device which operates independent of the patient's mobile phone, but is attached to the patient. The proposed device allows for an additional barrier of security in mHealth systems, and could be incorporated as a technique to ensure the security of user data [18].…”

The use of smartphones technologies and apps in health has become increasing popular in recent years and as such has led to the development of the mobile health (mHealth) sector. However, mobile health applications (apps) are often rejected in app stores or not utilised by the intended audience. This has led to much discussion about the review processes, certification, and considerations required to develop a mHealth app for successful deployment. In this paper, we describe a general design pipeline to be used for the creation of mHealth apps. The pipeline considers and makes recommendations for the design of the following in a mHealth app: Preparation, Back-End Development, Front-End Development and Deployment.
