From all indications, smartphones will be doing more heavy lifting in healthcare. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expects that 500 million smartphone users worldwide will be using a health care application this year and that, by 2018, 50 percent of smartphone and tablet users will have downloaded mobile health applications. These mobile medical apps do everything from monitoring caloric intake to diagnosing heart rhythm abnormalities and linking to a diabetic patient’s glucose meter.
For everyday motivation to eat well and keep moving, try these smartphone apps:
