Every coin has two sides – head and tail. Similarly, every situation has a good side and a bad side. When life turned overnight to a disguised state due to the pandemic, the havoc that was built up quantified the toll of the misery on human lives and suffering; the economic slowdown and psychosocial impact established strong enough reasons to translate the experiences into actionable lessons by improving the whole spectrum of health and healthcare delivery by adopting changes in public health interventions. A healthcare app can be very helpful for the common person to keep up to date on the information and precautions they need.

Following the financial crisis, remote care has seen a huge shift in the healthcare industry.

Almost 200 apps are added every day, with this number nearly doubling since 2015. Overwhelming fact, isn’t it?

Healthcare Apps – A Bridge between Patients & Medical Professionals

Do you know, according to a study – 80% of doctors particularly use smartphones and medical apps in everyday medical practice. 

It’s easy to recall days when getting yourself a doctor’s appointment was a hustle. Similarly for doctors, catering to numerous patients was a tedious task. But with the digitization of the healthcare industry, providing and accessing medical assistance has become seamless like never before. 

A mobile app allows patients to find doctors, schedule appointments, and view medical test results comfortably. Additionally, patients can also consult a doctor via video call to address health issues online.

As for doctors, online consultation and patient management has made it easier for them to treat and assist their patients as well as effectively streamline the communication. Be it an emergency response, health surveillance, maintaining health records and clinical documentation, or treatment monitoring with patients regularly, everything can be monitored and managed with just a few clicks and taps online with advanced healthcare applications.

After learning why medical apps for patients and doctors are so crucial. Let’s look at a few of the most useful medical apps available on Google Play.
