21 Heroic Health Apps

From Cancer Prevention to Happiness Measuring

— August 5, 2011 — Tech
People have certainly taken to caring about themselves now more than ever, hence the popularity of all the heroic health apps on the market. Whether it is an app that can detect early traces of skin cancer, one that one help you make better dietary decisions or simply one that measures your happiness level, there is one out there for everyone.

I think that these heroic health apps can improve many lives; I say download them all and see which ones work for you.

Implications - The eco movement has made consumers more conscious of the decisions that they make on a day to day basis. As a result of caring for the planetary well-being, more consumers are now concerned with their own health. Companies should focus on creating tools that will help their customers live fuller, healthier lives.
