When it comes to keeping track of your health, 2016 serves right up – simply download the right apps and you can start taking your temperature, dieting better, taking your blood glucose measurements and more! Here’s a quick look at some of the health apps out there you might not have known about.
The Withings Health Mate app is a fun and easy way to get healthier, sleep better and exercise more – and, when paired with the Withings Smart Blood Pressure Monitor, you can use it to track your blood pressure and heart rate, as well. The app also helps you stay on top of your health with reminders and useful information on hypertension and blood pressure, in addition to graphs that are automatically generated to show your blood pressure trends.
The future of health care is here with CliniCloud, the app that lets you measure and record your temperature, heart rate and lung sounds and connect with a professional for advice when needed.
