摘要：
In the medical field, mobile devices and apps are continually gaining importance for medical professionals as well as for patients. Key aspect of their success lies within their capability to collect and process personal and health related data at the point of care. Mobile devices simplify this collection process. But the aggregation of reliable information about the usage patterns or personal information of any clientele is an alluring possibility for service providers. Regardless of the application, this behavior is often undesired. We conducted a preliminary examination of the data sending behaviour of a small amount of health related apps and compared the results to the provided information by the manufacturers on data protection.
