Medication Management Apps for Diabetes: Systematic Assessment of the Transparency and Reliability of Health Information Dissemination.

Future work can further examine the consent-seeking process for data collection, data management policies, the appropriateness of advertising content, and clarity of privacy clause of these apps.
