There seems to be an app for everything these days, but HealthTap is right with the times. With the increasing use of new breakthroughs in consumer technology being integrated into the field of medicine, such as products like Google Glass, HealthTap is taking the doctor–patient relationship to a new level. Your doc doesn’t have to make a house call; all you have to do is make a HealthTap.

HealthTap gives its members access to the best minds in medicine. All you have to do is ask, and you’ll get the best health answers, tips, and news created by world-class doctors. Plus, these medical geniuses will provide personalized tips and checklists so HealthTap members can focus on improving their health and well-being with specific plans. They also give their customers 24/7 access to their top physicians via video, voice, or chat. Talk about the ultimate options for a doctor’s visit!

Yet the app isn’t just good for patients; it’s also good for doctors. Doctors can increase their patient base. They can also build social media followings by publishing the best content and treatment advice. HealthTap is a one-stop shop for medical consultation. Plus, it alleviates the waiting room process in which doctors and patients have to spend hours waiting to see each other.

Furthermore, it allows doctors to do more humanitarian work from their homes, from aiding a young doctor on site at missionary facility in Nigeria to talking to an elderly woman in London about her diabetes medication. HealthTap makes administering medical consultation a breeze. HealthTap’s mission statement is “To help people feel good, and measurably prolong the life expectancy of humankind by providing immediate access to top medical experts and their trusted health advice, any time and anywhere.”

This is the type of app everyone should have in the app lists. HealthTap will have applications in the future that will outgrow its current use and more than likely become a part of medical history. The New York Times has already called it “the app that saved 10,000 lives.” What will they be saying about it years from now?
