Question

There's an APP for That - APPs in Healthcare - DIRECTIONS As smartphones and tablets become a standard part of the technology and equipment in healthcare, more and more healthcare professionals, yes, and patients, rely on APPs. There are APPs for patients to track and improve health, APPs for providers to improve their patients' care and support their work, and APPs for electronic health records. For this assignment you are going to find THREE APPs: • One for PERSONAL HEALTHCARE use (NOT EHR related) One for PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE use (NOT EHR related) • One for ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD - either for patient or professional

Answer 1

A.PERSONAL HEALTH CARE APP.

1. Amwell
2. This app can use in both Android and iOS version phones.
3. Available in both Play Store and App Store.

4.​​​​​ AMWELL : healthcare with no appointments, open 24 hours, from the comfort of your own home or, for that matter, from anywhere in the world. AmWell, powered by American Well and accredited by the American Telemedicine Association, offers just that. Through the app, you can have a virtual urgent care visit for as little as $69 if uninsured, or just the cost of your copay if you have one of more than 35 accepted health insurance companies. You can also see providers in other specialties, including therapy, psychiatry, physical therapy, dermatology, speech therapy, pediatrics, women’s health and nutrition. When you see a doctor through AmWell, you will have the benefits of a real-time, face-to-face interaction with a real doctor via secure video technology using your smartphone or desktop computer. If you have to pay the full visit cost without health insurance picking up any part of the tab, you will be happy to know that it’s far less than the $645 average national cost for an emergency room visit or even the $139 average national cost of an office visit. AmWell was named the most popular consumer telehealth app worldwide two years running, and in 2018 engaged in high-profile business deals with massive health insurer Anthem and Avizia’s hospital-based telehealth platform.
