This is of special interest to me since I'm looking at some casting later in the summer. Too bad it's only a concept. Visit The Verge for a photo.
NPR tells an interesting story of the success of medical apps and teases it with the headline Patents Lead the Way as Medicine Grapples with Apps. The story contains the expected cautions, reports that Happtique has been founded to" reviews apps and gives those that at least perform correctly a seal of approval, and contains one doctor's opinion that if people are looking at their smartphones a number of times a day they can be put to good use by building a heightened awareness of what's going on with blood pressure or another key indicator. My favorite stories—a woman who has successfully used an app to achieve weight loss and the doctor already mentioned who has used an app to diagnose medical emergencies on an airplane. However the change is driven, it's got to keep coming.
Boggles my mind:How in 2013 can "we" continue to ask should doctors email w/ their patients? http://t.co/aB0RIN8sLi And that 68% still don't
