THE POPULARITY OF MOBILE HEALTH / MEDICAL APPS 

\nThe practice of utilizing mobile devices, such as PDAs, smartphones, and tablets, for the purpose of health services and information has attained the name of mobile health (or mHealth). Thus, mHealth apps enable patients to manage as well as improve health through collecting information on their vital signs and providing it to practitioners with the aim to receive the suitable treatment or consultations. However, not just patients are taking benefit of mobile technologies, as mHealth apps are significantly designed for healthcare experts, including clinicians, doctors, and nurses that necessitate real-time access to histories, appointment schedules, billing data, drug prescription details, and other practice relevant information of patients.\n\nA great number of medical institutions and companies have already known the potential of mobile apps for healthcare. They assign budgets and then invest in building medical applications for mobile devices, such as, Blackberry, iPhone, Android, and other popular smartphones, PDAs, tablets. At the present time there exist thousands of mobile health applications. Such apps are developed for the below mentioned purposes:\n
