Abstract

|
|
While the invention of computers has caused the rapid development of technology and civilization, the marriage of computers with mobile technology has continued to greatly change our daily lives in every aspect. We use smartphones to tell the time instead of watches, and we utilize mobile applications (apps) to communicate by emailing, messaging and social networking, to take, edit and share photos and videos, to navigate, to conduct commercial transactions, and to perform many other everyday routines. Similarly, in the medical field, there are apps that provide medical and drug information, medical practice guidelines, continuing medical education, and many other services. In this article, several selected mobile apps are briefly reviewed from a personal point of view on their utility in daily medical practice.
