Editor's Notes
- 1992 – The first smartphone was invented by IBM in 1992. It was nicknamed, “Simon,” and had a plethora of features including a calendar, address book, calculator, email service, and even a touch screen. At $899.00, though, most people could not afford it. Wikipedia In 2007, Apple Inc. introduced the iPhone, one of the first mobile phones to use a multi-touch interface. The iPhone was notable for its use of a large touchscreen for direct finger input as its main means of interaction, instead of a stylus, keyboard, or keypad typical for smartphones at the time.[22] 2008 saw the release of the first phone to use Android called the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1).[23][24] Android is an open-source platform founded by Andy Rubin and backed by Google.[25][26] Although Android's adoption was relatively slow at first, it started to gain widespread popularity in 2010, and now dominates the market.

- Zocdoc seeks to expedite the process of locating care by displaying physicians in your area who are available for immediate and long-term appointments.” In other words, a ZocDoc user can search for health care providers based on specialty, location, and the type of insurance they accept. Based on this search, a user can see the profiles of health care providers that meet their criteria, learn a little about their practice, and read patient reviews. Most importantly (and impressively), ZocDoc allows users to view and easily book an appointment right from the application. This is no small feat, as health care providers must adopt ZocDoc’s platform in order for this to be possible. Websites and apps like guahao.com can help patients schedule doctor appointments.

One function helps women keep tabs on their menstrual cycles. The app also provides information about contraception, pregnancy, beauty aids and parenting. And it helps women link-up through an online community.

- Another role for apps involves medicine sales through online pharmacies, said Chen Qiao, director of the Tianjin-based venture capital investor Hidea Investment. The Chinese pharmaceutical market's annual sales exceed 900 billion yuan, Chen said. Some 700 billion yuan of that is spent on prescription drugs that online pharmacies are not allowed to sell. A new draft regulation, released in May for public consultation, proposes lifting that restriction. This could mean huge growth for online pharmacies, Chen said. She also expected greater competition to reduce the number of online pharmacies from more than 200 to around 10.

- The new Health app gives you an easy‑to‑read dashboard of your health and fitness data. And we’ve created a new tool for developers called HealthKit, which allows all the incredible health and fitness apps to work together, and work harder, for you. It just might be the beginning of a health revolution.
- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/03/140319103612.htm The app, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, accurately measures color-based, or colorimetric, tests for use in home, clinical or remote settings, and enables the transmission of medical data from patients directly to health professionals. Decentralization of healthcare through low-cost and highly portable point-of-care diagnostics has the potential to revolutionize current limitations in patient screening. However, diagnosis can be hindered by inadequate infrastructure and shortages in skilled healthcare workers, particularly in the developing world. Overcoming such challenges by developing accessible diagnostics could reduce the burden of disease on health care workers. Due to their portability, compact size and ease of use, colorimetric tests are widely used for medical monitoring, drug testing and environmental analysis in a range of different settings throughout the world. The tests, typically in the form of small strips, work by producing color change in a solution: the intensity of the color which is produced determines the concentration of that solution. Especially when used in a home or remote setting however, these tests can be difficult to read accurately. False readings are very common, which can result in erroneous diagnosis or treatment. Specialized laboratory equipment such as spectrophotometers or test-specific readers can be used to automate the readouts with high sensitivity, however these are costly and bulky.
- However, a barrier facing those emerging technologies is the worry about attaining needed funding and research support, Fiebus said, especially given potential federal regulations of new medical devices, privacy requirements around collected data and the use and storage of confidential health data
