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.

iTriage App

iTriage is an app that helps in providing information that helps you in traveling within the United States of America. I found this app helpful because it can contain your in health insurance information, health record, your appointments, health care providers and all your past medical information. You could also have discounts while using this app. It has many hotlines that might be helpful in using within the US.

For more information check out the video above.

In my opinion one way to develop this app is to link similar apps in every country to make it one app that can be used around the world, or at least in every continent as a start. Now this would really be a Health APP REVOLUTION !!

 

BeWell App

 

 

This app caught my interest because it combined different aspects of health that we all need as a matter of fact most of us complain that we can’t really manage our time in being social, have enough exercise and also not getting the amount of sleep that we need. Bewell app monitors our actions and tell us what we are doing wrong so we could fix it.

First Aid by Australian Red Cross APP

This app is sold by SIDED CUBE DESIGN LTD and is available for free on both iOS and Android.

The app provides interactive videos and simple step-by-step advice regarding the most common first aid emergencies including: chocking, burns, asthma, allergies, broken bones and bleeding. The app would predominately be used as a tool for learning prior to an emergency situation, and this learning can be tested through the multiple choice tests provided.

The app has a huge potential to improve patient care as if emergencies are attended to correctly and immediately, the severity of the health impairment and the extensiveness of treatment are both likely to decrease. This attention is only able to be provided by trained personal and this app provides easy and extensive access to unregistered but valuable training. If the extensiveness of treatment is decreased, patients are more likely to adhere to the treatment and more likely to lead a better quality of life, which are both critically important aspects of patient care.

I’m Expecting – Pregnancy APP

This app is sold by MedHelp, for free use on both iOS and Android.

This app is used as an information source for pregnant women, that also allows them to track several aspects of their pregnancy. These aspects include symptoms, mood, medicine, morning sickness, notes and baby kicks, which can be compared to the symptoms of many other women in a given week of pregnancy. Weight gains can also be tracked and compared to the average. Finally events such as doctors appointments and other tests can be tracked on a calendar. The app also facilitates the development of a baby bump photo journal, allows access to several MedsHelp online forums, displays weekly fetal development images developed by medical experts and connects the user with other expecting mothers.

This app is a valuable support network and information resource for expecting mothers. It has the ability to monitor their health, providing documentation of symptoms, which is useful to report to practitioners during check-ups and to assist in early determination of abnormalities. It may also assist in reducing anxiety, especially for first time mothers, which helps to maintain mental health. The apps key potential negative in regards to patient care is that users may access it instead of seeking advice from medical experts. This may be insufficient as there are often multiple explanations for symptoms and advice is not always generic, it differs based on health status and history.
