This past week, Apple published more than 240 apps to the health and medical categories of its AppStore. By our count, 132 of those published to the consumer health & fitness category, and we found 112 apps in the medical category. While these numbers are high, it should come as no surprise that a significant amount of them are either not in English or not at all health related.

Still, MobiHealthNews found a handful of apps worth noting.

This week's selection includes a couple of smoking cessation apps, an app from a major medical association, an electronic billing app, a toothbrush monitoring app for kids, and more.

We predict that iOS apps intended for use by medical professionals and medical students will exceed 5,000 by next summer, as discussed in our Professional Apps Report. The number of health-related consumer apps will cross 13,000 by next summer, according to MobiHealthNews’ Consumer Health Apps Report.

Check out our round-up of this week's new health related apps below.

Kickit - $0.99

Kickit is a new smoking cessation app with a bold, cleanly-designed interface that uses financial incentives to keep users from smoking. Users input their quit date, the cost per pack of cigarettes, cigarettes smoked per day, and the number of cigarettes per pack. Kickit then figures out how long it will take to afford a financial incentive, such as a new laptop, using money saved from not smoking. While SMS has been proven to help with smoking cessation, it's interesting to see whether financial incentives will help as well.
