About ORCHA
Apps present a fantastic opportunity to provide us with valuable health information which can help us not only improve the quality of our healthcare, but also help us to live healthier lives.
The market is awash with apps, though, and we have no ability to see whether what is being downloaded will actually improve our health or if our personal data will be stored safely.
For that reason, Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care System have partnered up with ORCHA (the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Applications) to provide the site for local residents to solve just those problems.
ORCHA carry out independent and impartial reviews of health and care related apps and can be reassured that any apps shown on this site have undergone a rigorous review process, and can feel confident as we choose the best app for you.
By bringing this information to our fingertips, it's now possible to identify and compare the best apps for our needs - and to ensure that we, and our friends and families, can get access to quality assured apps that meet a standard that clinicians across Lancashire and South Cumbria are comfortable with.
