Lumosity

Lumosity Brain Training

This app started first as a website. It is built to challenge the brain and tease it to work better and faster by training it through studied games that are designed to improve brain function. It was then released into an app. I personally use this app for several years now, starting from 2010 from the site page and then to the app. I am not a premium member as I am using it as a free player which allows me to play only in 3 areas of games instead of 5 like the paying costumers. Although I’m not taking advantage of the full package but yet I really find it helpful in refreshening my brain and improving the way i’m thinking and the speed of my reactions. I really recommend this app for everyone since in my opinion I see it useful and suitable for all ages.

WebMD APP

This app is sold by the WebMD Health Corporation for use on both iOS and Android.

This app provides access to health information and decision-support tools. The app has a range of key features. The WebMD Symptom Checker, allows the user to select a part of the body, choose symptoms, & learn about potential conditions or issues. The app also allows the user to search by condition and displays medically reviewed information about the conditions causes, treatments, & related symptoms. Similarly, drugs and treatments can be searched, resulting in content such as Uses, Side Effects and Warnings. A Pill Identification Tool allows the user to identify medicines by pill shape, color, & imprint. The First Aid function shows treatment tips in medical emergencies, from insect stings to broken bones. Finally, Local Health Listings allow the user to find the closest physician, hospital, & pharmacy based on current location or search by city, state or post code.

This app offers a range of useful support tools and health information for users. In regards to patient care, it is critical that apps of this nature do not replace advice from a medical professional, as symptoms may be the result of a range of conditions, physical tests often need to be carried out and advice and treatment is personalised individuals health status and history. The use of these apps often results self diagnosis, which may be skewed or incorrect, resulting in a decreased health status and a delay in the attainment of the correct treatment.
