Health is wealth, and technology has mostly kept us from being out of shape with apps and games that get us moving.

The world of healthcare is also getting tech upgrades in the form of apps. These four innovative apps push forward the possibilities of medical science and our well-being as a whole:

Medici

Commuting to see your healthcare physician is now an option. Thanks to apps like Medici, you can simply call, text or have a video chat right in the comfort of your own home.

Aside from the convenience it brings, Medici saves people money by bringing the clinic right to them. Doctors, therapists and counselors can accommodate more patients due to having more time for them.

Visual DX

Visual DX is an app that holds big data for those who want to make sure that their doctor’s diagnosis is correct. Featuring over 30,000 medical images on dozens of diseases, you’ll be sure to get peace of mind and avoid any instance of medical malpractice.

The app is available on iOS and Android as well as for desktop and laptop computers. You can browse through different categories such as infectious disease, pathology, dermatology and emergency medicine. Visual DX claims to have improved diagnostic accuracy by 120 percent since it was introduced to the public.

Doximity

Acting as somewhat of a social network for medical professionals, Doximity is a mobile healthcare app who built Epocrates, another medical-related app.

Download and open it and you gain access to a veritable search engine of doctors, with helpful filters like specialty, experience, hospital affiliation and location. It’s also modernized in a way that you can send faxes from anywhere and get your healthcare documents directly in-app.

ACT MD

Act.md is more of an information management app that allows healthcare providers to make a digital file and record for their patients. It can also be used to transfer or share a patient’s medical information with other experts quickly and without a paper trail.
