Healthcare Apps

     With a growing number of technological Innovations available, the health savvy individual would want to find out and make use of the best and most reliable apps to include in their health regimens.  Although some apps would be utilized and encouraged by their doctor, such as MyChart, there are some other reliable apps that a patient can use as well. MyChart, Medisafe, Talkspace, and Fitbit are some apps that certain individuals can take advantage of for their health and well-being. 

     MyChart is a tool many HCO's use to give their patients access to their healthcare records, such as lab information and explanations, as well as giving them a convenient way to schedule appointments, pay their bills, and correspond with their doctors.

     Medisafe makes the journey to health easier for patients with chronic illnesses.  With medication reminders and caregiver connectivity across the whole spectrum of a patient’s continuum of care, the app makes sure the patient is following their regimen, informing and supporting caregivers and patients to create a smooth experience for all involved (Medisafe, 2025).

     Talkspace is an app especially for connecting individuals to therapy for mental health.  By connecting them to therapists through text or video, this app makes sure patients can get counsel when they need it (Digital Scientists, 2024).

     Fitbit is an app that tracks a patient’s exercise routines. Its ability to sync with wearables makes this technology easy to use and the perfect companion for health enthusiasts.  It can also track heart beats to detect irregularities and be synced to help with chronic conditions.

    These apps are just a sampling of what's on the marketplace for health consumers.  Some are already well known and being utilized widely.  Some are already thinking ahead and creating for the future.  Keep checking this blog for information on upcoming trends and possible new developments in health care technology.  First, in this next blog, see the discussion on telehealth.
