Growth of Mobile Health Apps

Did you know there were over 165,000 mobile health apps? But, only about 2% or 3,300 apps are for health care providers and/or insurance companies. That is still a lot of apps to sort through to find the one to help you care for your patient. Well, I am hoping to assist with this dilemma by starting a discussion about apps for nurses.

There are websites and blogs that discuss medical apps, but no websites dedicated to discussing apps for nurses. While nurses are a key part of the health care team, our role is unique; therefore, not all general medical apps are appropriate for nurses. So, this website is dedicated to exploring and discussing mobile health apps that assist all nurses in providing excellent patient care.

In order to advance to conversation on mobile health apps for nurses, input from all nurses is important. Please, share your experiences with mobile health apps while providing patient care. I want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. Feel free to add your comments below or you can contact me privately.
