Time for rethinking health apps?

FierceHealthcare says, a study from UC San Francisco showed that those patients who need health apps and who make up the mass of users can′t use them. Time for rethinking their design or their purpose?

Rethink the design process! The results of the study doesn't really surprise me. The only way to get it done right is to apply human centred design methods to get outf apps that have value, purpose and good experience for their users. Health apps can be useful, who needs what, where, how and when depends, as always, on the specific user.
