"Medical Reference", "Diagnostic Tools" and “Patient Records" app areas, as categorized by AT&T, are all being actively and extensively piloted/implemented. The benefits to both patients and caregivers from "Education"apps seems to be taking hold more slowly. Educating patients, right at point of care, helps them understand their conditions and treatments, can alleviate their anxiety (possibly enhance adherence to treatment/recovery regimens), as well as saving caregivers' time. The best way to communicate many of the complex core medical concepts to "YouTube- centric” patient populations is via video animations. We'd like to think, and Apple has recognized ours as a good example, that our Blausen Human Atlas iPhone apps ... www.blausen.com/iphone ... are good start on this.
