Are you unsure whether you should go to the doctor? Check it with an app. Strange birthmark? Analyze it with an app. Dozens of medical apps are added every day. What should you pay attention to when using a medical app?
The last question was answered yesterday in Tros Radar. Because medical apps can be very useful, but there are a number of things you should take into account.
1. An app is not a substitute for the doctor
Rule 1, and immediately the most important:an app is a useful tool, but an app in no way replaces a visit to the doctor.
2. Use an app as a tool
Keep track of when you have to take your medication via an app or keep a pain diary. In addition, there are apps that can be useful in emergency situations. The Gifwijzer app shows whether you should make someone vomit or drink a lot of water. Another app shows where the nearest defibrillator is.
3. Wonder who the sender of the app is
Some apps are not out to give you information, but to get information from you. Pay close attention to what information you enter and check the conditions to see what they do with your information. The sender of the app can give you important information:is it made by a commercial party or does the information come from a doctor or patient association?
