Extract : "The health industry
is responding to the increasing popularity and availability of
technological innovations, such as tablets and smartphones.
Health and
wellbeing applications are estimated to make up approximately 40% of
new smartphone apps currently being developed. This is a huge market
and only set to increase as the benefits become more apparent and
smartphone and tablet technology become more widespread.
Health applications
have the potential to be adapted and used by healthcare professionals
and consumers, helping to revolutionise the sector and reflect the
digital age we live in. [...] Tablets and smartphones, are readily available and the technology is
relatively low cost when compared to other health technologies and
professional training tools."
