iPhone Promoting Health And Fitness?

The latest trend to hit the United States has been the amazingly popular iPhone. The iPhone has been extremely successful probably due to a few factors that include: it’s shiny, it’s new, your neighbor has one so you want one too, or you love spending way too much money on something you may not need. Either way Apple has a killer marketing team. However, the one upside about the iPhone is the fact that health and fitness applications (apps) have been very popular and are downloaded quite frequently.

Among the top downloaded health and fitness apps are calorie trackers, and aids for working out, even a pedometer. I personally think these applications are a brilliant idea, from both the making money stand point and the “Hey, lets try and help some of our customers” stand point. Why? Well, I’m glad you asked.

From the business part, creating apps that focus on health and fitness is an amazingly brilliant idea. Most of the nation, even the world is so worried about being fit or at least attempting to get fit. This drive to get in shape will continue to drive the Apple revenue up. However, because a lot of Apple products aren’t designed to get one’s body moving and exercising, maybe someone decided to put in an app that helps both the company and the customer. Even though I believe it is more to do with the cash flow, health and fitness applications are the best apps that have been developed for the iPhone to date. Well, that’s just my “humble” opinion at least.

New App for Doctors Released for iPhone

Filed under: App,ECG,EKG,iPhone,iPhone applications,iPhone apps,Uncategorized — doctorsolve @ 6:48 pm

When they say the iPhone has an application for pretty much everything, they really mean pretty much everything. A new iPhone app was just recently released for doctors. The app allows a doctor to stream a patient’s electrocardiogram readings over 3G. Additionally, the program allows the doctor to zoom in and replay events.

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is the recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time via skin electrodes. The ECG allows doctors to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart. Additionally, the procedure is noninvasive, and only requires electrodes to be attached to the body. An ECG is painless. When first applied, the disks may be cold and in rare circumstances, you may develop a localized rash or irritation where the patches are placed.

This app could mean huge things for a doctor/patient relationship. It allows the doctor to constantly monitor his or her patient, even from the comfort of home. Furthermore, not only does this add even greater supervision to the patient’s health, but the patient would have that extra piece of mind, knowing their doctor always has an eye on them.

Whether or not this app will be a success or a flop will have to wait. However, the value of this app cannot be overlooked. It is an invaluable tool for doctors and is, yet another advancement in medicine all thanks to technology. However, if this app did not sell, it would be an unfortunate opportunity missed by the world of medicine. I do hope that this product is recognized by the medical world and all the advantages of having such an application can be fully used.
