How and Why to Develop a Mobile Healthcare App[1]

12. Health tracking apps

In 2019, the global mHealth (short for ‘mobile health’) app industry was valued at $37 billion.
A large portion of the market can be attributed to the following app categories:

• 
  Fitness – for example, the popular 8fit app.
  
• 
  Diet – for example, Fitatu Calorie Counter and Diet.
  
• 
  Meditation and stress reduction – for example, the incredibly popular Calm and Shine apps.
  

There’s also an increasing number of apps that integrate with IoT devices worn to source and analyze users’ health data. Some of the most popular types are wristbands for sleep tracking (for example, FitBit), jewelry (for example, the health-tracking Oura Ring), glucometers, and thermometers (used, amongst other things, for menstrual cycle tracking – for example, the Kindara app).

13. Personal Health Record software (medical diaries)

Unlike health tracking apps, the majority of which are used to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Personal Health Record software serves a different purpose – monitoring diseases.
These types of software serve as medical diaries – and can be either held on the patient’s device or integrated with the doctor or hospital’s software.
A great example that demonstrates how Personal Health Record software works is the Tulipa app, designed for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease. In the app, the patients note down any symptoms, sensations, medication, or treatment, and can generate a health report before their next doctor’s visit.
This type of software can support the patient towards recovery, or alert medical staff on the worsening condition of a patient as soon as the first symptoms appear.
