Health Apps

There are a variety of health apps that are available for patient use from your smartphone or tablet. These apps make keeping track of fitness, nutrition, and medical information easy and convenient.   There are thousands of health app options available to the public and it can be hard to navigate which of these is the best. 

A patient needs to ensure that their personal information that is being input is safe and will not be shared with anyone they wouldn't want it to be. Apps that protect your personal information will state a privacy policy and if an app states that it shares personal information all details should be read and considered. As research continues into these health apps in the future it will become easier to identify high quality health apps.
