We don't allow apps that expose users to harmful health content and services.
Weva as an “all of health” platform can integrate health apps that encompass a wide range of applications that are designed to support and improve users’ health, well-being (mental and physical), and medical management. Medical apps, health and fitness apps, and health research apps are examples of health apps. Any Apps not compatible with Weva’s vision and mission or that in any way decrease the users’ health, well-being (mental and physical), and medical management will be removed from the Weva App Store at Weva’s sole discretion at for other reason that Weva deems reasonable.
If your app contains or promotes health content and services, you must ensure your app is compliant with any applicable laws and regulations.
Health Apps
If your app accesses health data and is either a health app or offers health-related features, it must comply with existing Weva Developer Policies, in addition to the below requirements:
- Weva Declaration:
- Privacy Policy and Prominent Disclosure Requirements:
- Your app must post a privacy policy link in the designated field within Weva app Store, and a privacy policy link or text within the app itself. Please make sure your privacy policy is available on an active, publicly accessible and non-geofenced URL (no PDFs) and is non-editable (as per the Data safety section).
- Your app’s privacy policy must, together with any in-app disclosures, comprehensively disclose the access, collection, use, and sharing of personal or sensitive user data, not limited by the data disclosed in the Data safety section above. The app must fulfill all applicable prominent disclosure and consent requirements.
- Permissions that are not required for a health app to perform its core functionality should not be requested and unused permissions must be removed. For the list of permissions that are considered in scope of health related sensitive data, see Health app categories and additional information.
- If your app is not primarily a health app, but has health-related features and accesses health data, it is still in scope of the Health App policy. It should be clear to the user the connection between the app’s core functionality and the collection of health related data (for example, insurance providers, games apps that collect a user’s activity data as a way to advance game play etc.). The app’s privacy policy must reflect this limited use.
- Additional requirements:
If your health app qualifies for one of the following designations, you must comply with relevant requirements in addition to selecting the appropriate category in the Weva App Store :- Government-Affiliated health apps: If you have permission from the government or a recognized healthcare organization to develop and distribute an app in affiliation with them, you must submit proof of eligibility to Weva.
- Contact Tracing/Health Status apps: If your app is a contact tracing and/or health status app, please select “Disease Prevention and Public Health” in the Weva App Store , and provide the required information via proof of eligibility to Weva.
- Human Subjects Research Apps: Apps conducting health-related human subjects research must follow all rules and regulations; including but not limited to, obtaining informed consent from participants or, in the case of minors, their parent or guardian. Health Research apps should also secure approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and/or equivalent independent ethics committee unless otherwise exempt. Proof of such approval must be provided upon request.
- Medical Device or SaMD Apps: Apps that are considered software as a medical devices or SaMDs must obtain and retain a clearance letter or other approval documentation that has been provided by a regulatory authority or body responsible for the governance and compliance of the health app. Proof of such clearance or approval must be provided upon request. Weva at its sole discretion may approve any medical device or SaMD prior to inclusion on the Weva app store.
