У каждого в доме есть градусник, ведь температура — это явный признак того, что с организмом что-то не в порядке. Но почему-то далеко не все владеют тонометром, в то время как отклонения в показателях артериального давления (которое и измеряет упомянутый выше аксессуар) указывают на наличие неполадок в организме не менее явно, чем термометр. Еще лучше, если обеспокоенный состоянием своего здоровья человек ведет дневник, куда записывает полученные от тонометра показатели и текущее самочувствие. При...

Здоровье — это стиль жизни. Когда мы заболеваем, то сразу бежим к врачу, а уж там начинается целая серия вопросов, ответить на которые практически невозможно. Согласитесь, без чужой помощи не обойтись. Но теперь больному можно отложить далеко от себя ручку и блокнот, ведь приложение «Медицинский помощник» взгромоздит все вопросы на свои плечи.

Следить за своим здоровьем очень важно. Правда, из-за ежедневной суматохи это не так уж и просто, как может показаться на первый взгляд. Можно, например, забыть о приеме того или иного лекарства, или не уследить за какими-нибудь важными показателями, вроде артериального давления или уровня глюкозы. Все это очень важно, и шутить со здоровьем не просто нельзя, а по-настоящему опасно. Подходить к этому вопросу нужно серьезно. Но, возможно, теперь все будет действительно очень легко, ведь контролировать...

J.R.R. Tolkien once wrote, "Not all who wander are lost." Today, 6.32 million Americans are living -- and wandering -- abroad, excluding those in the military. Some move for work, others to explore their options and still others for education -- and then never return. Often, the most frequently discussed profession earning Americans gainful employment outside of the United States is teaching English.

I am a snorer. This should not be taken to mean that I make soft, puppy-like growling sounds in the back of my throat as I sleep. In fact, if you happened to hold that puppy up within six inches of my face while I sawed logs, it is likely that all of the flesh, fur and musculature of that baby dog would be vortexed off its skeleton only to become lodged in the yawning chasms of my throat and nostrils. My snore is the sound of the Seventh Seal being opened, or the universe tearing itself asunder. In all...

For most of time medicine was a guessing game. Doctors, or witch doctors, or shaman would inspect a patient, stir a potion and hope it would work. With some notable exceptions, modern medicine isn't so different. The data collection—blood pressure, heart rate, weight, reflexes—is largely rudimentary. We're getting by, but technology can take us so much further. Even technology that fits in your pocket....

In 2009, when Apple’s App Store was just over a year old, an app popped up that seemed too good to be true. AcneApp claimed to treat zits by shining alternating red and blue light out of a user’s iPhone screen, and boasted that it was created by a board-certified dermatologist. The app was greeted with a flurry of mostly positive press coverage. "Anti-Acne App Available for the iPhone" trumpeted The New York Times headline. "iPhone App Claims to Treat Acne With Light," said ABC News. "Acne App Treats...

In what may be a first for the Federal Drug Administration, the agency has sent a letter to the makers of an iPhone medical app asking why its approval wasn't sought before release. The uChek app analyzes photos of urine samples to give users quick health information. On Tuesday, the FDA told developer Biosense that it had 30 days to either show the agency that it has already received its blessing, or explain why the app didn't need it in the first place....

S Of all the things you never leave home without, your phone is usually somewhere near the top of that list, ready to whip out at a moments notice. You keep all your most vital information on it: birthdays, important meetings, reminders, beloved images, what have you—but all of this is worthless without the people behind each of these things. And Drops First Aid for iOS wants to make sure that your phone helps you keep them around too—or strangers, for that matter....

Seeing that positive pregnancy-test result can be overwhelming, whether a couple has been trying to conceive or it's a total surprise.
