FastCompany contributor and Social Media guru, Robert Scoble, interviews a Stanford physician on his use of Epocrates on the iPhone. An excellent interview that is well worth your time for several reasons: 1) With over 600,000 physicians using Epocrates (1 in 4 physicians in the US use Epocrates) it is arguably the number one mobile [...]

Couple of weeks ago, my T-mobile contract expired and I turned to AT&T to get the iPhone. Was able to quickly sell my Blackberry (BB) Pearl on Craigslist (really like that service) and am slowly getting use to the iPhone quirks. What I don’t like, miss or just haven’t gotten use to on the iPhone: [...]

Couple days back we put up a post on the serious money being made by those developing apps for the iPhone. What we failed to mention is that Apple actually has two products for the mobile Web, the iPhone and the iTouch. iTouch has all the features of the iPhone, sans phone. Read, Write, Web, [...]
The Mobile App Goldrush

Last week the Washington Post published an article on the fervor surrounding the iPhone and the slew of independent developers that are making boat-loads of money by creating apps for the iPhone. As the article correctly points out, Apple’s goal is not so much to make money from selling these apps, but to become the [...]
iPhone Apps Plateau, Nothing on Android

Doing the monthly drive-by of mobile health & wellness apps, what do we find… Apple iPhone: There are now nearly 400 health & wellness apps in the iTunes AppStore today.

WebMD on the iPhone
Posted in consumer health, PHR, tagged iPhone, mHealth, WebMD on November 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last Thursday, WebMD released an iPhone app that is now the third most popular app in the health & wellness section. Pretty impressive popularity considering a modest user rating of three stars. Looking at the comments it is clear that WebMD rushed this product to market. Makes one wonder if it was the slick demo [...]

Late last week I had the chance to speak with the creators of the only true PHR (no, I do not consider simple ICE-type apps a PHR) that I know of which was purposely designed for the iPhone, My Life Record. Background: My Life Record was created by the small company, Life Record based in [...]
Monthly Visit to the AppStore

Dropped by the Apple iPhone AppStore (it’s inside iTunes) to see how the health & wellness section was doing. As we reported previously, the AppStore has seen tremendous growth in the number of applications available to the consumer or physician. That growth has not abated. As of this afternoon, one will find 189 health & [...]

Just dropped by the iPhone AppStore to see if any new health & wellness applications have been added to the site since the post I did on July 23rd. Imagine my surprise in seeing some 64 separate iPhone apps – a doubling of the number of apps in 2 short weeks. Now the question is: [...]
