Identify at least 3 healthcare-related tools (apps, devices, etc.) and/or other resources available

Healthcare is an industry that is saturated with ideas that are aimed at helping people keep better track of their own health and well being. Note, I said "ideas" because majority of them are just that. Out of those many ideas, there are a few that have actually broke free, the following pieces of technology are no longer in the realm of being an "idea" and have actual come into fruition. So if you gonna stick around for a bit, let me tell about what I have found, who knows, maybe you'll use one of these healthcare related tools in the future.

First healthcare related tool I found was Doctor OnDemand (Doctor Ondemand, 2019). Doctor OnDemand lets you see a doctor for a video consultation via phone or computer, versus visiting a doctors office. During this consultation a doctor will listen to your complaints and possibly write you a prescription, or maybe answer your questions. During the consultation if the providers notices that your symptoms are more acute and need higher echelon of care, you'll be advised to visit the nearest health facility. Doctor OnDemand is a program that will provide great convenience for those that are suffering from minor illnesses (Doctor Ondemand, 2019).

The second interesting program I found is for Veterans. The Veterans Affairs MyhealthEvet website, allows veterans that have already established care with the Veterans Affairs, access to their medical records via the internet through the VA's proprietary website (VA, 2019). On the website, a veteran can also order medications, view and make appointments, and contact their provider via message system. If you are a veteran and want to take part of this awesome program that the VA offers, clink this like (https://darrelleamio.wixsite.com/veteransehr ) and visit another website I have created to help veterans get access to their records.

The last healthcare related tool I will be talking about is Mobile MIM (Dolan, 2011). One of the first FDA approved diagnostic radiology apps, Mobile MIM enables providers to securely share images from radiation oncology, radiology, nuclear medicine, neuro-imaging and cardiac imaging departments to the MIM app via secured network transfer facilitated by MIM (Dolan, 2011). In the app providers can measure distance, intensity values, display measurement lines, create annotations and regions of interest.

If any of these tools catch you interest, conduct your own searches and see what more they can offer. As for me, I'll see ya later!
