Mobile healthcare apps are common and popular. As of 2017, there are more than 300,000 healthcare apps. The most used apps relate to nutrition, weight loss and exercise. However, many of the apps are not doctor-reviewed or contain approved guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association. Patients should be careful when using the health apps without consulting their doctor. The healthcare apps will now be regulated by the FDA in January 2019.
