Google is your friend when searching for problems but it can be also be your enemy whilst searching for information concerning health and in some cases it can be fatal but with the technology available today we are starting to see more and more in – house apps from real practitioners something similar to an app we featured a while ago called Touch Surgery

 

The Royal College of Surgeons have released a new app though which gives information on certain issues and will hopefully prevent people from using search engines as a source of info which can be mixed across the board.Self diagnosing is not wise but we have all done myself included so there is no denying that it is something there for people to do and even if its just out of curiosity or perhaps searching on someone else’s behalf…

On opening the app you are presented with 4 icons as pictured above and you can then set up your own profile which is non intrusive on information,In the search option you will be presented with an alphabetical list and then you can open the desired selection and get information.There is also some news categories to chose from too if you want to keep up to speed on the latest info at hand on health etc. So far on testing the app its quite smooth and responsive and its an excellent job and idea and would like to see more like it..

There is also a feature to store your own health information such as blood type, weight, height and to calculate your BMI. The app also includes a very useful feature that lists all the hospitals in Ireland and contact information for each hospital as well as emergency services information.

Never walk home alone again with “Companion App” #Apps #Safety

Waking home alone is not the wise move to make late at night and especially with the dark nights upon us daylight hours are less thus leaving some vulnerable earlier,the same applies now to the morning time as Winter approaches,this is when you might be potentially attacked which is the last thing one would want to happen.. Regardless prevention is better than cure and you should try to remain in a group or at least have a taxi or lift but it does happen when we may ramble on or continue to walk whilst trying to hail a cab..

There is now a new app to give you company if you will and you can have someone remotely monitor your journey home and its called Companion App which is a peer to peer operation via your smartphone..You can pick family members or friends who do not actually have to have the app installed and they can monitor your moves and it alerts them if there is no response and you can contact local authorities.

How does Twitter find accounts to suggest?

Twitter’s suggestions for “who to follow” or “people you may know” are based on an algorithm that makes personalized suggestions for you. You may see suggestions based on criterion such as:

  • If you’ve uploaded your contacts to Twitter, we’ll suggest you connect with those who already have Twitter accounts.
  • If someone has uploaded their contacts to Twitter, and your email address or phone number is included in their contacts, we may suggest you follow them.
  • E mail contacts if you have uploaded them.
  • Twitter may also make suggestions based on your location, e.g. the city or country you are in.
