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 !!

 

Health Care Communication App

 

Now, this app is really interesting. This was developed from a wonderful woman that actually been in a situation that required an app like this but unfortunately didn’t find one. It simply replicates what ever the patient needs to say which makes it easier for the recipient to know and fix the problem. In my opinion, this app is required and essential in all hospitals and for all places that have health care especially where the disabled are been treated.

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.
