Now that were in an age were mobile devices are a major part of peoples life. App development is becoming a promising new field for many computer scientists. Primarily, Healthcare applications for patients. "Some of the most advanced medical apps are the 100 apps already approved by the FDA" but most apps aren't for general patients and it must be approved by the FDA (imshealth). Also, "50% of healthcare apps available to consumers can be downloaded for free and are produced by a variety of types of developer" which is important to remember that if you are competing with other healthcare apps out there it's better to see what your competition has done (imshelath). Also when creating a healthcare application you need to take into consideration if the app will cover the full patient journey, are therapy area specific or demographic specific.
App requirements/expectations:
• Inform: Provide information in a variety of formats (text, photo, video)
• Instruct: Provide instructions to the user
• Record: Capture user entered data
• Display: Graphically display user entered data/output user entered data
• Guide: Provide guidance based on user entered information, and may further offer a
diagnosis, or recommend a consultation with a physician/a course of treatment
• Remind/Alert: Provide reminders to the user
• Communicate: Provide communication with HCP/patients and/or provide links
to social networks
Eventually, we can even make gadgets that functions with the applications for the doctor to use on his patients. This way the doctor doesn't have to purchase expensive separate instruments, everything is on his device. This way the device is also multipurpose and can perform many different tasks/operations. Just like the video bellow, it a clinician on the go. These tools are all on the phone so if an accident happens somewhere the doctor can immediately respond and use all the applications/gadgets b/c it's all on his phone and convenient.
