timgasper says: Medical information is now portable, personalized, and participatory, allowing patients to get more involved in the healthcare process. Among the drivers of this increased patient involvement is open access to medical information, which is positively impacting consumers’ ability to process information. Here's Sam Nachbar's apps to watch for Healthcare consumers.
timgasper's picks
  1. Pillbox
    Pillbox The app sends reminders accompanied by a visual representation of the pill to keep users on track with their medications. Pillbox and other types of virtual health assistants are reducing errors while helping doctors and patients stay in touch and monitor healthcare needs.
  2. Glucose Buddy - Diabetes Logbook Manager w/syncing, Blood Pressure, Weight Tracking
    Glucose Buddy - Diabetes Logbook Manager w/syncing, Blood Pressure, Weight Tracking Rather than consulting with a doctor to monitor glucose numbers, carbohydrate consumption, and insulin dosages, patients can use the Glucose Buddy app to store and track this information from home.
  3. Polka Health
    Polka Health By keeping a shared log of health information, Polka Personal Health users build a mobile medical profile that offers health reminders and communicates critical health information. The users’ health profile is secure, since it can only be accessed by individuals the user authorizes (doctors, family members, experts), and the application is great for tracking and managing valuable health information.
  4. Medicine Finder
    Medicine Finder Medicine Finder is a medical reference app completely focused on helping users identify the right over-the-counter medication for particular symptoms.
  5. WebMD – Trusted Information for Your Health and Wellness Questions
    WebMD – Trusted Information for Your Health and Wellness Questions eneral diagnostic websites such as WebMD.com, MedlinePlus.gov, HealthFinder.gov, and MayoClinic.com have become tremendously popular in recent years. Naturally, as people begin consuming more information via mobile these medical reference sites will transition to accommodate the market.
  6. Cloud PHR Pro - Google Health™ on iOS
    Cloud PHR Pro - Google Health™ on iOS Users with an active Google Health account and the Cloud PHR app can view their Google Health records (conditions, medications, allergies, procedures, test results etc.) in an iPhone friendly format. They can also view notices from their provider, enter new data, and add test results directly from their phone.
  7. Allscripts Remote™
    Allscripts Remote™ Since providers are already accessing patients’ health records online, the stage is set for mobile health management. A number of apps already offer personal health records (PHRs), including: Allscripts, CareTools iChart, motionPHR, and Pain Care. While the mobile PHR segment is attracting new entrants, these emerging apps are not always helping patients interact with physicans. When implemented well, electronic medical records will shorten evaluation cycles and enhance consumer’s ability to control costs in ways that do not weaken quality.
