Theresa Pablos: 5 Ways To Use Patient-Focused Apps In Your Practice

1. Educate patients and obtain data - 30% of smartphone users use their phone for educational purposes
2. Reach younger patients - While Americans in general are moving toward using smartphones for health-related purposes, that trend is greater for young adults
3. Show you care - App suggestions may provide a positive outcome for patients, and they can also differentiate a practice and serve as a customer service standpoint
4. Help your bottom line - Mobile apps may even have the ability to help your practice thrive financially
5. Improve overall health - Many patients view their health holistically, and apps provide an opportunity for all providers to look at health more holistically
