If you can't remember to check your blood sugar, take your meds, or have a quick snap, get yourself an Apple iPhone or iTouch and download HealthAssist, a free application where you can program multiple medical alerts for yourself. The new app comes with four important parts. "CalendarAlert" sends you a text reminder for each medication, whioe "RefillAlert" reminds you to refill your Rx. "HealthAlert" sends you a monthly update on condition-related issues, like breaking-news headlines and dialogue forums. "EMRAlert" gives you a way to store and update your private electronic medical record, which may be important in emergencies. The goal of the maker of HealthAssist, WellCare Today, is "...to improve chronic disease outcomes and reduce healthcare costs." Non-adherence to medication and medical advice is reponsible for an additional $100 billion and 125,000 lives, according to a recent article. To download this application for your Apple device, visit the Apple website.
