Hi Didier,

I just happened to read your colleague’s article. While I agree there is still plenty of opportunity for better apps for use in hospitals, the post you linked to is very limited. We did our own study of health-related apps available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and others — we found many, many more apps than the dozen or so your group points to…

I’d suggest you take another look.

Thanks for the comment,
Brian

Mobile apps in healthcare – will we ever see real “mHealth” in hospitals, or will apps always be limited to fitness tracking and education/reference?

My colleague wrote a piece on this topic ( http://tinyurl.com/2ejrhs5 ) in which he observes that for all the news about mHealth, iPhone, etc. apps today are basically limited to 4 categories: reference, education, personal health or fitness tracking, and miscellaneous utility.

What will it take to get to the next level, the promise of mHealth within hospitals to enable workers to be more efficient and provide a higher degree of care?

I have yet to find a company that manufacturers blood glucose monitors who makes software that is compatible with Apple computers. I have been asking for this for years and the response I get is that it’s not worth their investment. This goes for LifeScan and One Touch. I am a user of the One Touch meter. I have been using their meter ever since they have been producing them. They give the meters away for free because they make their money on the strips, 1.00 each. How hard or expensive is it really to create software that will work with Apple’s software? It seems to me that the meter companies are not only lazy, behind in times but also greedy.
