Health minister Dr. Dan Poulter recently predicted that smartphones and technology are about to dramatically change the health industry as we know it.

One of the most powerful healthcare innovations in recent memory has been the dramatic increase in 24/7 access to health information – enabled by wireless internet access, smartphones and tablet devices.

Having this information available wherever and whenever we want it means users can research and plan for preventive measures for many diseases, track changes in their health and increasingly take charge of their own wellbeing.

Not everyone has, can afford, or wants a smartphone...🙄
