GreyCrunch Monitors Health For Tech-Savvy Old Folks
When thinking about old people using their smartphone to track their medications and biometric data, my mind immediately leaped to the time my 90 year old Grandpa tested out an iPhone and unlocked it with his arm moving in an exaggerated half-meter arc. But times are changing. The next generation of old folks are just as natural on their smartphones and Facebooks as most 20 year olds these days. And as everything else moves digitally, Finland's GreyCrunch seeks to release a cross-platform, all-in-one package to keep track of blood pressure, pills, and activity monitoring.
Medicinera.se Puts A Pharmacist In Your iPhone
Scandinavian Outcomes is providing consumers a digital and mobile way to get answers about medication with a new app release, Medicinera.se. With the IOS app, users can ask a virtual pharmacist questions about self care, get help in choosing the right over-the-counter medicine, or find the nearest pharmacy. The service was nominated in 2011 for Sweden's Golden Mobile award in the health category and also to the Dagens Medicin award Guldpillret for the promotion of good and safe use of medicines. The app answers questions in Swedish in real time.
