Technology is an amazing thing, what is the one thing all phones have? Apps!
There are so many apps available from games to health.
One thing i have noticed is Health apps are mainly geared to people without pre-existing conditions, that's mainly because they are wanted by consumers. I would love for this too change. i'd love an app tailor made for invisible disabilities.
The Perfect Phone App
The perfect phone app for me would have three main features,: A calendar that could sync up to a friend or family members calendar, great for storing hospital appointments, General Practitioner Phone number(s) and important information. Alarms that you can tick off - if you're anything like me you've forgotten to take your medication a handful of times, alarms are great for helping but easily dismissed. By having to tick a box or even out your password in it's more of an incentive to get a wiggle on and take those med's. Emergency call button! for many the fear of falling down while your alone and no one answering. Having a button i can tap or even call and allow permission to give my location would be easy, no taking up valuable emergency service call lines, just medium priority. If you are in real danger though please call emergency services though if you need them, they are there to help.
What would the perfect phone app have for you?
I love this! For some reason, my most recent phone update got rid of my "take my medication" alarm and I can't get it to repeat like it used to and it's so frustrating! I imagine there's an easy fix to it but I haven't had the energy.... too real. Nice post :)
