"Medical apps will be given a full role in our health care mechanism."

BRUSSELS, 19/04/2022 – With moveUP, the Riziv officially reimburses the use of a medical app in healthcare for the first time. The rehabilitation app has been provisionally funded for some time, but will now be the first app at the third and highest validation level of mHealthBelgium. Apps at that level can count on government funding. “This is a new step forward for patient-centered care in our country”, Steven Vandeput, coordinator of mHealthBelgium, is satisfied. Two other apps are in the pipeline for funding, one on sleep therapy and one on oncology.

Once again we can welcome a new app at the M2 level. This brings the total to 10 applications.

3 new apps received today the mHealthBelgium quality label:

- SyncVR Medical apps 'Fit' and 'Relax & Distract' are digitalt herapeutics products, based on Virtual Reality technology, that are only available through prescription

- CardiacSense system with app and watch (distributed in Belgium by Arseus Medical) for continuous and long-term monitoring of cardiac parameters.

Noona is the eighth app to go to the M2 level!

Since today there are 26 applications on mHealthBelgium, the Astma Compass application is the latest addition. Astma compass brings the total number of M1 applications to 19!

NIHDI launched today the long waited template for M3 hence completing the full implementation of the mHealthBelgium validation pyramid.

Maela, a digital solution for patient engagement and monitoring, starting today at the M2 level!
