Abstract
"The future of medicine is in your smartphone," proclaimed an eminent medical researcher in a 2015 Wall Street Journal essay. In a sense, that future has already arrived, judging from the proliferation of apps and medical devices now connected to smartphones. One 2015 industry study identified more than 165,000 health-related smartphone apps available from the Google Play Store and Apple iTunes. But to what extent does this technology lead to improved patient outcomes? That question is one for evidence-based medicine, to be answered by clinical trials and systematic reviews by medical experts.Entities:
