An App a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Before, there were no Sync.MD Pro App or MyFitnessPal or the Google Play Store itself. Instead, most would attend programs and take notes on paper. Now, there is less need for those things. With health-related apps present, demanded knowledge, assistance, and more are met.

Weight Loss Coaching

Here, you can find calorie tracking, food diary, exercise schedules, etc. The ‘Annals of Internal Medicine’ showed a study proving that they do not work as much compared to actual weight loss programs with trainers. However, it was found by the University of California that it can be effective; users only tend to utilize weight apps less after the first week of usage. Improvements are then needed. Some apps are thinking about considering the behavioral information analysis of the app user, to recommend better weight loss plans that people would be able to stick for longer.



Sleep Cycle Analysis

This type of app determines the number of hours you sleep and how much you wake up at night. Still, accept this with a grain of salt. For one, the app cannot completely measure how deep your sleep can get.

Nevertheless, sleep cycle apps can give you an awareness of the big picture. In the long run, it can show you whether or not a new sport or diet makes you more restless than before. It can also tell you if you have got enough time to sleep.

Health Record App

Electronic health record apps are a boon for doctors and patients alike. Organizing and keeping track of health informational sheets is not easy. Practitioners get burned out from this activity risking the wrong input. This is crucial since patients would sometimes need required records for operations. But with the help of this app, this could be avoided. It is also beneficial if doctors can see the patient's entire medical history. Accidental medical incidents like giving the wrong prescription or wrong procedures may then be prevented. It may detect early problems since the big picture can be seen through the data in one place.

They are convenient, portable, free, and there are other kinds of health apps out there. If you are concerned with your health and wellness, then it is advisable to subscribe to one of them.

The Secret That Most of Your Patients Don’t Tell You

Patients sometimes overlook the effects of their actions in their overall health. They always seem to depend on the best doctor, the most expensive care or the best technology to treat them when they get sick. One of the most dangerous choices that patients create themselves, besides what they choose to put in their body, is choosing to hide their medical history. There are a lot of reasons why people don’t tell you their past medical history: They think that treatment will be more expensive  They are worried about insurance experience  They fear judgment from their healthcare providers Or... They simply don’t remember   We, as healthcare professionals, already know the importance of keeping track of medical records (with tools like medical apps for Android and Apple ), and especially presenting them to their physicians when future illnesses come up, as it serves as a path for doctors to come up with accurate diagnoses.

However, there is a downside to that goal, often causing patients to be thrown in a situation of unease. Through the years, the industry came up with various solutions to ease the problems that raised patient complaints. EHRs or patient record management software was established, and apps were created to assist special patients. However, it still didn’t solve the majority of the complaints.
