Abstract:

Now more than ever, digital technologies have always played an increasingly important role in business sectors related to health protection, both in the public and private sectors. In particular, the constant spread of mobile devices and online platforms, starting with social networks, is today a new challenge for brands operating in the medical sector. Health apps are increasingly popular in the world, especially in the United States, and may one day keep us further away from hospitals. 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. The need for a healthy life is a need today very felt, because if on the one hand medicine has made leaps and bounds and today cures many once deadly diseases, on the other hand the bad eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress, they have become 'new diseases' and affect society quite severely. Obesity, for example, is considered a real epidemic, and is among the main causes of mortality. This obviously entails an individual, social and health cost. Therefore, technology can help the human being to have proper lifestyles, and this is the reason for the birth of many of apps that help to run, eat, sleep, meditate, fight back pain or headaches, manage anxiety.
