Over 49 million US adults suffer from anxiety but only 36.9% of them get professional help. In addition, only 10% of those get effective treatment.
However, with growing technical changes in other areas, the healthcare industry is also picking its pace to improve medical facilities. A mobile application testing company plays an important role in ensuring that quality apps are released for accurate health record data. To address the growing number of depression in patients different apps are released. An anxiety app helps patients in learning anxiety management techniques and following their physician's health guidelines.
Following are a few features that can help medical professionals and patients in practising techniques they learn in therapy:
Aids in Stress Relief
The sole purpose of an anti-anxiety app is to help patients overcome psychological stress and calm down. However, finding the right relaxation technique is one of the most challenging tasks while treating anxiety. Just like one size does not fit all, one treatment may not work for all. Different techniques may work for different patients. Specialists cannot be sure about which will work best for their patient before trial.
Anxiety apps offer various features with relaxation methods at working, allowing patients to try them all and figure out what works best for them. These features include separate sets of calming audio tracks, interactive meditation sessions (pre-defined) as well as breathing techniques that are described in detail.
Physical Symptoms Tracker
Anxiety apps also play an important role in tracking devices that collect and analyze health data. For instance, an app can record a person's heart rate by using a mobile phone's camera lens. There are special medical devices that can be connected to smartphones and allow tracking results of complex tests like blood pressure.
The app automatically copies health data and shows an estimate. Whether the results can be matched with the log history and whether they fall in the safe zone. If health measurements require attention, the app recommends that a healthcare professional should be consulted. It can also inform the physician automatically.
Medical Prescription
A medical practitioner can also find this feature helpful as all patients have different symptoms. It allows creating an individual medication plan on their mobile devices and then sharing it with the patient. The app will remind patient for each medication intake and mark the pill 'taken' when he updates the record. Thus, therapists can keep a track if their patients are following the medical prescription or not.
All these features an app should work efficiently, only then its true purpose would be fulfilled. Thus, it is important to have a professional mobile app testing companies that tests healthcare apps with meticulous care and ensure meeting quality. They can contribute to achieving better healthcare facilities to all patients.
