We hope the following list can help you to choose the health & wellness mobile apps that are right for you.
What are health & wellness mobile apps?
Most people today carry mobile devices such as tablets, mobile phones and portable computers to stay in touch while on the go. Software applications or "apps" are available for these devices to help users communicate, organize their appointments, and manage information.
A variety of health-related apps are available for download, with more being created daily. You can use these apps for different purposes, such as tracking your medications, diet and exercise; scheduling your medical appointments; sending reports to your doctor etc.

A health & wellness mobile app can:
