We live in a digital age and more and more of us are downloading health apps in order to boost and improve our health and wellbeing.
But, how can a health app be helpful for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer?
Dr Anne Bruinvels is the founder of the app OWise, a health app that is designed to help patients with breast cancer. It is essentially a one-stop shop which can be used to store information surrounding the cancer treatment, record and monitor side effects and allows the information to be shared to doctors or family members. It even has a recording facility within the app that allows clinic consultations to be recorded to be listened to later. And all this is within an app where the data is encrypted and is GDPR compliant and secure.
It was a great conversation and Anne shares so many important tips surrounding health tech in general. Do listen to the end as she describes the things to look out for before downloading a health app, to make sure it is safe, robust and secure.
