Here are two examples of how an app on it's own can pose significant risk to a patient, if the app is intended to make a diagnosis.

1) a medical professional prescribes an intervention that is influenced by the app's diagnosis. If the diagnosis is inaccurate, the prescribed intervention may be very harmful to the patient.
