Another of my Must Follow Blogs writes about apps that help individuals with their health care. At first, I was sceptical, but after reading their slant, I remembered that I have a number of friends who use apps like these. There will be a segment of the population that will refuse to use anything like this as they do not want to put any sort of health data online, but another segment that will get into this as they may have friends to connect with who use the apps. Having a group involved for something like weight loss has proven to be successful.
Another interesting statement is that "companies are also pushing to implement a lot of wellness-related moves to try and reduce their insurance costs — according to one recent estimate, she said, Starbucks spends more on health care than it spends on coffee beans." We see this at Trinity with the various options available to employees such as Weight Watchers. It all makes sense.
"As consumers take more and more of their health-care needs into their own hands, developers can profit by helping them take control of their health and wellness through apps and mobile services."
