About
The iMedicalApps Team consists of a group of physicians and medical students who provide commentary and reviews of mobile medical technology and applications. Our reviews and commentary are based on our own experiences in the hospital and clinic setting. Most of our material is based on the iPhone and iPod Touch platform, with plans to review Android based medical apps as well.
If you have developed a mobile medical application for the iPhone or Android platform and want us to consider reviewing it, please contact us with a brief description of the app, and three promotional codes.
If you would like to submit an article or opinion piece related to mobile medical technology please do so through our contact page.
