Improve patient - doctor communication with a smartphone

Dutch insurer VGZ made this great iPhone app (Android coming soon) to improve communication between patient and doctor.

After accepting the User Agreement you can use this app to:

• prepare your visit to the doctor by taking notes (you can use a FAQ for your specific medical problem)
• use these notes (checklist) during the visit
• you can even record (by doctors consent) the doctors diagnose

All notes and recorded material are for personal use only and can't be published publicly.

Other features include finding your doctor by GPS and/or rating the service by certain criteria.

I really like the FAQ-feature where you can have a look at questions that most people -with a similar medical problem- ask their doctors.

Mobile health and geolocation

Presentation for Flagis about mhealth and location / gps.
Small intro on care & mobile trends.
A lot of practical uses of mobile phones in healthcare, with the emphasis on location based applications.

Might be a bit too Flemish/Dutch for most English readers, despite the absence of text.

Feedback is always appreciated!

Looking for location based healthy/fitness game apps

... for mobile phones ofcourse AND that are location-exercise-centred.
I know there are a lot of apps that track your course (runkeeper, nokia, garmin, etc). But these only monitor a limited amount of sports.
Sportypal, Tallyzoo and Endomondo have more disciplines, but are still centred around your personal results.

I want to look at it from a different perspective: "look for exercises (of whatever kind) that where performed in your vicinity"

Opportunities

• Compare with friends
• Interact with people doing the same workout
• Challenge people
• Search for people doing the same exercise/trajectory
• Businesses proposing healthy exercises

Ingredients that are put in this blender are: social fitness app + GPS + getupandmove + business advertising

I welcome your suggestions!
