Rising Use of Medical Apps in Healthcare

The entire healthcare industry is being disrupted by introduction of new technology that aims to improve the processes in which medical professionals connect with patients, the flow of information among the medical community and the way in which treatment is applied to patients. Today many medical resources of varying quality are available for mobile devices.

UpToDate  (UTD)  medical application is the premier evidence-based clinical decision support resource, trusted worldwide by healthcare practitioners to help them make the right decisions at the point of care. It is proven to change the way clinicians practice medicine, and is the only resource of its kind associated with improved outcomes.

The best drug reference app is Micromedex. Drug Information contains the industry’s most comprehensive drug information on 4500+ search terms and is backed by the same thorough, unbiased editorial process as Micromedex.
