title: Medical apps worth having.
abstract: Medical applications (apps) for smart phones have grown in popularity, with minimal oversight by regulatory agencies. A few Web-based resources exist that evaluate apps using peer review or certification standards. Eight clinical apps are presented along with brief explanations of each. Many users believe apps improve patient care and clinical decision-making, but until additional research is conducted, these assertions remain untested assumptions.
