While #mhealth or mobile health is taking the world by storm, Happtique, a mobile application store developed specifically for healthcare professionals, aims to make sense of it all. Happtique, Healthcare-APP-bouTIQUE, provides a growing app catalog of what it calls “hApps” or healthcare applications.
The store prides itself on its curation since it was developed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals. In other app stores, searches are limited to “medical” or “health,” generating hundreds of generalized pages of apps. Apple recently attempted to develop its own App Store for Healthcare Professionals, but many believe it to be disappointingly curated. Unlike iTunes, Happtique is platform agnostic and more specific in categorizing health and medical apps by topic and target user.
