More and more incredible mobile health applications and solutions have been coming to the market so I thought I would share some of these in this post. For example, iBreath is an app for iPhones that allows users to take an alcohol breath test. Using devices like the iBreath can help prevent you from making a serious mistake in judgment. Well, I was reading an article about a new Plug-In glucose meter, iBGStar, for the iPhone. The iBGStar is designed to allow you to keep track of blood glucose, carbs intake and insulin dose, and manage your diabetes in real time. It connects directly to your iPhone or iPod touch. In addition, the iBGStar Diabetes Manager App will allow data to be easily managed and communicated to healthcare professionals. The device is approximately $80. There is no FDA approval yet though as the iPhone is not considered a medical device.
Another cool app for the iPhone is eRoentgen Radiology DX. It can provide physicians with a fast way to determine which radiology test is best for a given patient. Roentgen Radiology DX contains a large database of signs, symptoms and diagnoses that can make quick assessments as to which radiology exam is most appropriate. The convenience of using the eRoentgen makes it a valuable tool for health care professionals. Below are some screenshots for the application to see how it works.
And last by not least, a new application for the iPhone has been designed to aid people with poor hearing. The app amplifies everything that is being heard by the microphone and allows the user to set which frequencies to boost and which to filter. It can even replay the last five to thirty seconds of a misheard conversation. This is great for people that are hearing impaired along with others that will become hearing impaired.
