The number of health apps continues to grow at a rapid pace, and if you’re in search of more apps to download and experiment with, Dr. Craig Burkhart has a list for you.
To give a sense of how fast health apps are arriving in the market, Dr. Burkhart of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, broke down the number of health applications for Apple devices at the times of American Academy of Dermatology’s meetings: At the 2012 AAD annual meeting, there were 5,000 iOS health apps. That number went up to 13,000 during the 2012 Summer AAD, and 40,000 at the 2013 AAD annual meeting.
He listed some of his favorites during the 2013 AAD summer academy meeting:
1password – to remember passwords
Byword – a simple writing app
Drafts – to automate text actions, also good for transcriptions
Dropbox – to store and share documents, large or small
Epocrates – for drug reference
Evernote – for note-taking
Flipboard – popular news reader
Google Drive – for documents and spreadsheets
Launch Center Pro – to get quick shortcuts for specific features buried in apps
Mind Node – for mind mapping
