The Digital Assets Area of the TIC Salut Social Foundation, in collaboration with the Citizenship, Innovation and User Area of the Catalan Health Service, the Department of Health and the Department of Social Rights and Inclusion, works to promote the use of digital solutions and services to bring them closer to citizens. These digital assets, accessible through a website, a mobile application or other interfaces, allow the practice of health and social welfare activities focused on the person.
The main commitment of the area is to promote and accompany in the use of digital health and well-being solutions aimed at citizens of the Health System of Catalonia.

- A certification process for health apps that allows quality apps to be offered that follow European, national, and local standards.

Digital assets in health and social care have great potential to facilitate the management of the health and well-being of the population; and their evaluation and subsequent certification allows to ensure their quality, good use, and benefit by the people who use them. There are many efforts coming from different regions of the European Union and from different health systems to promote these applications among citizens and achieve a common framework of trust within public systems, with unique evaluation criteria throughout Europe.
