Many experts explain that giving the doctor the permission to integrate data from fitness and health apps into medical records would have many advantages, like identify early symptoms of a disease. They might also be able to control how a recovery from surgery is going or if you are following treatment. The main goal of these apps is to help people become more aware of their health and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
