Get The Health Answers You Need With The Dr. Oz AskMD App

 

 

Watching Dr. Oz always leads to great information and products we can use to help us manage our health a little better. We use smartphones to pay bills, monitor our home, and start the car so why not use it to live a healthier life. In fact, with a click a button, you now have access to an array of information on sites like medzilla. Additionally, there are many physical therapist assistant programs offering great entry level positions in healthcare that you can find on this physical therapist assistant website.

To add to the list of health and fitness apps like calorie counters, progress trackers, and first aid guides, these wellness apps can help you manage the basics and get prompt medical information right at your fingertips so you can know that products you need to consume to feel better as there are herbal supplements like blue lotus extract that can help with your overall health in the long run. Well, here is a new one by Dr. Oz – and it’s FREE.

 

The health dashboard for your iPhone, Dr. Oz AskMD App was launched in December by Dr. Oz and former CEO of HowStuffWorks, helps us keep track of our health, identify symptoms and what might be ailing us. It is to help you be prepared and be a more active patient when visiting your doctor – come prepared, ask questions, track your symptoms. For example, you can enter your symptoms by tapping through a list of questions based on your ailment and the app will tell you the possible causes.

“Toni Pashley, VP of Product, says the goal of the Dr. Oz AskMD App is to not only help people discover what may be bothering them in a given moment, but also to help people better manage and stay ahead of their own healthcare. The app works like a healthcare diary for individuals by providing patients with a tool to enter and store relevant information such as medications and insurance information as well as basic facts, like their blood pressure and cholesterol levels.”

I think it’s a useful tool to help monitor our health and a place where we can store our health data. Where do you right the information you want to share with your doctor? On a sticky note, scrap paper, or do you think you will remember it? I never do and can never find the scrap of paper either. Most important the app is designed to track your symptoms over a period of time giving you a more accurate timeline for symptoms and being able to share it with your doctor. I think it’s worth it. How about you?
