Applandica Checks the Receipts on Health Apps

Field notes

The lab describes a repeatable workflow rather than a simple recommendation blog: at least 30 days of use, multiple testers, raw axis scores, test logs, firmware versions, and checks on whether account deletion actually works. Its comparison framework includes reference points such as polysomnography, ECG chest straps, and laboratory draws where available. The homepage also tracks 1,109 dark patterns, including fake urgency, guilt streaks, and buried cancellation controls.
