This is the heart
A mobile app is likely to find a larger audience among healthcare types, simply because mobile devices are so popular with this audience. Sure, you’ll still want to employ your regular arsenal of marketing vehicles: brochures, videos and product demos, websites, email, and social media. But a mobile app can incorporate any and all of these elements in one, easily accessible source.
Your app can be informational, communicating your message in text, images, video, and sound. It can be interactive. It can be social. And because you can update it regularly, it can be dynamic. With this much potential, your mobile app could be the magic bullet in your healthcare IT marketing strategy.

Apple has been developing and will soon unveil an "iWatch" sometime in 2014. When it does, it will transform the concept and practice of health care. The iWatch will be used by millions to monitor their day-to-day health and improve their lives in countless other ways. Areas like sports medicine and athletic training will benefit as well. I really don’t think many people realize just how much of a game-changer this will be. The iWatch will not just make measuring your heart rate easier; it will change the way society thinks about health and wellness, much like the way the previous Apple devices have changed the way we think about technology and its role in our lives. Health will be more of a priority in iOS users’ minds. People will be more mindful of things they may not have pondered much before; how many calories they’ve burned, their resting heart rate and amount of exercise. The integration of biometric data into the iOS ecosystem will do wonders for health care, both in and out of hospitals. Like the Macintosh, iPod, and iPhone, it will be a watershed moment in the history of technology because it will be the first successful integration of technology and the human body in one device. The current skepticism expressed by some industry pundits over Apple’s seeming inability to innovate will vanish the moment it is unveiled. Apple’s mission is to build products that enrich people’s lives; the iWatch will go a long way to make those lives healthier. Via nrip

Also, using a mobile app with standard product information reduces compiliance risk dramatically.
"Here’s how I see this augmented reality mobile phone accessory changing healthcare:
* Some Healthcare Professionals will try them * Prices will tumble and lots of Patients will try them * Tech will advance and they will become so discrete we won’t know if someone is wearing the tech, is using it or not. * Banning it will be pointless as anyone can just as easily make a secret audio recording (a daft idea that Google Health’s Chief Strategist was encouraging Patients to do years ago) * Google will present adverts to Patients similar to the ones you see on Adwords except they’ll know where you are (leaving XYZ clinic), what you’ve just done (seen Doctor XYZ) and will have video documentation of the entire encounter. * Clinicians will see an even bigger rise in their premiums than last yearand insurers will make moves to ensure all consultations are documented by the clinicians so they have an ability to defend themselves in the face of the DIY documentation process that Patients are increasingly using.

A team of scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have developed the world’s smallest medical implant to monitor critical chemicals in the blood. The 14mm device measures up to five indicators, including proteins like troponin, that show if and when a heart attack has occurred. Using Bluetooth, the device can then transmit the data to a smartphone for tracking. Via François-Xavier Schaeffer, eMedToday

"I think it's personal bias. Doctors spend an average of 12 to 18 hours a week doing medical work and getting medical information from the Internet," said CBS News contributor Dr. Holly Phillips on "CBS This Morning: Saturday." "In fact, it's the first place I turn if I have a tough diagnosis. I think we're all using it and we're all getting used to that idea.
