Tweri, una app para el seguimiento de enfermos | TICbeat:

Muchas de las enfermedades traen consigo un denominador común la falta de autonomía en las personas que las padecen, un factor más además de la propia enfermedad. La Asociación de Familiares de enfermos de Alzheimer de Madrid ha colaborado en el diseño de esta aplicación.

La app tiene como objetivo mejorar la autonomía de éstas personas, durante la primera fase de la enfermedad, manteniendo la tranquilidad de los familiares durante sus salidas. Con ellas pueden establecer cierto límites de seguridad en los paseos mediante una alerta al cuidador o familiar una vez superado el radio de distancia que hayas señalizado en la aplicación. Además dispone de un botón, para que en el caso de que el usuario se pierda se emita una alarma con su geolocalización.

The American Medical Association’s (AMA) first consumer app, My Medications, hit Apple’s AppStore late last week. The app allows patients to manage their medications, immunizations, allergies, and to access their medical team’s contact information. The app costs just under a dollar: $0.99.

In March, the AMA released CPT E/M QuickRef, a reference guide that helps physicians determine the appropriate CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code to use for billing. That marked the first high profile app launch for the association.

Also, last week the AMA announced the winners of its 2011 App Challenge, which sourced ideas for apps from physicians, medical students and residents, which the AMA would then “bring to life.” Winners included the Rounder app, in the physician category, and the JAMA Clinical Challenge app in the resident/fellow/medical student category. The Rounder app “would provide a data capture point for information on hospital patients, allowing physicians to easily keep track of their patients’ progress. The JAMA Clinical Challenge app would “present clinical vignettes and images along with medical case information, serving as a learning tool.” The winners received $2,500 (cash and prizes) and a ticket to New Orleans to watch the “unveiling” of their app at the AMA’s annual gathering this month.

Notably, neither of the winning apps were apps intended for use by consumers or patients.

With My Medications, the AMA has created a consumer health app intended for use by their members’ patients. It follows then that the AMA would expect physicians to start recommending the use of consumer health apps to their patients, right?
