Digital Health App Portfolio (PAZ)

Certified Applications of the Ministry of Health in the Digital Health App Portfolio

The goal of the Digital Health App Portfolio (PAZ) — which includes applications certified by the Ministry of Health — is to highlight safe and professionally developed apps dedicated to patients.

Only applications that have been awarded the “Certified App of the Ministry of Health” title may be included in the portfolio. The certification serves to confirm that the app has been thoroughly reviewed in terms of content quality and information security. Including apps that hold the certification in the PAZ portfolio is meant to facilitate their identification by all stakeholders.

Although the apps featured in PAZ are intended for patients, the benefits extend to all involved parties. Medical professionals gain access to proven tools that help monitor patients’ health, support adherence to medical recommendations, and increase patient engagement in their own care. For app developers, certification is a mark of high quality and effectiveness, and an opportunity to expand their reach among a broad group of patients. Expert and patient organizations involved in the evaluation process help popularize these solutions and gain a new channel to fulfill their statutory goals. We hope this solution becomes a valuable and trusted tool — and gains wide popularity.
