Purpose
Most people think of apps as nothing more than social media or games. While smartphone apps today vary in quality and effectiveness, apps with a medical focus have served to improve their users' health.
Whether you need a reminder to take your meds on time, or are simply tracking your weight loss, apps provide an accessible way to hold people accountable for their own well-being. People who nearly always have their phone on them are also more aware of their own health if they regularly use the available apps, many of which are free.
