Application submission for this year’s MEDICA App COMPETITION opened middle of May and will end on September 30, 2016. Developers from all over the world will be able to submit their medical app ("medical mobile solution”) and possibly participate in the live competition for the best app intended for everyday use during the world's leading medical trade fair, MEDICA (November 14 – 17, 2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany). "This is the world's largest competition of this kind,” explains Mark Wächter, mobile strategy consultant at MWC.mobi. The organizers are looking for purely business-oriented solutions for the target groups of physicians, hospitals or medical teams. Wellness apps are not eligible. On November 16, a jury will decide which of the 15 applicants will be allowed to present their products on the stage located in hall 15.
A look back illustrates the creativity that has already distinguished the app developers so far. The apps "Talkitt", "SmokeWatchers" and "MobileODT" took first, second and third place respectively last year.
The "CervDx powers MobileODT's Enhanced Visual Assessment (EVA)" system provides support for trained health professionals in the field of visual cervical cancer screening. It offers the possibility of managing patient information, getting a digital second opinion and correctly transferring patients. Thereby, it is important in Germany that, although those insured there have always had the right to obtain a second opinion, this entitlement is only now being re-emphasized for certain indications within the Code of Social Law. It has not yet been established for which indications exactly these are to apply. In 2012, even the German Medical Association already stated that telemedicine is permissible, "provided that it is carried out in compliance with professional law, that it is ensured that the doctor treats the patient directly and another doctor is involved with the treatment via the telemedical method." So far, something such as this represents good prerequisites for the continued success of MobileODT.

"SmokeWatchers” is a system conceived by a French developer team. In combination with a Bluetooth-enabled stick that is compatible with commercially available e-cigarettes, the app, which is installed on a smartphone, records the precise amount of vapor consumed – all the way to the daily number of puffs on the e-cigarette and the approximate quantity of nicotine consumed. This results in being a top motivational aid for "further forcing down” the data curves, thereby continuously reducing the amount of nicotine intake.
