Diabetes Australia App is a free app that requires you to register and login each time you use it.The app requires moderate level of computer skills. Diabetes App is associated with the website of Diabetes Australia, supporting people with diabetes, professionals and research bodies to prevent and treat Diabetes.
Raising awareness, promotion, prevention and research. This App has News, Recipes, events that relate in your own local area, products to purchase related to your diabetes, well being that discusses health facts , cooking tips, shopping list. It is a good app , but I wouldn't recommend it as the only app you use for information on diabetes.

This is a great app which has been created by Diabetes Australia.
Personally I have not used it but downloaded it to explore as I have family members with Diabetes. There is free registration which only requires basic information as well as information relating to diabetes status and location in Australia. The app provides numerous links to articles, publications, recipes, well being information, events and even shopping lists where users can add in foods and create a shopping list. I love that this app is so simply with a tap on each topic you have access to everything. Very user friendly for all. Provides links for services and also links to buuying supplies, publication, cookbooks etc fr each state. I would most certainly recommend to my family, friends, colleagues and also clients. I love that it also provides video and audio resources.

As embarrassing as this may be to share, this electronic menstrual diary is one of the most useful health related applications on my phone.

1. I always struggled with keeping track of my menstrual cycle, forgetting to jot down dates or cross out the calendar when "that time of the month" came around. This application was a life-saver and it's incredibly easy to use. The format is simple and first-time users just simply follow the prompts. Not to mention the fact that it's free to download on the App Store!

2. Nanobit is the company behind this little genius of an app. Although they are not usually a reliable health source (due to the fact that they create games specialising in androids and IOS), this application was recommended to me by my regular GP.

3. I believe that in this day and age, technology has become such a big part of our lives and having access to such resources at the palm of our hands (literally) makes our lives that much more convenient.

4. I would most definitely recommend this electronic tool to my nursing colleagues and patients simply because, why not! Offering your peers and clients with more information, more guidance, and more education is always going to be advantageous.

S Health AppI used this application on my Samsung a few years ago, and I found it very easy to navigate around.Samsung Electronics is the creator of the app.I think it is a good app because it can keep you motivated if you use it. You can go for a ride or bike ride and turn on the tracker and it can record your track and the distance you went. You can also share with friends and see their tracks and give them a go if you walked to explore a new route.It would be something I could recommend and in fact did before I got a fitbit. It is clear and easy to use and it’s free to download. You can get your friends involved and have competitions if you have a competitive streak in you.

Stop, Breathe And Think: Meditation and Mindfulness (added by Rachel Jones)

Easy to use, pleasant user interface, simple graphics and text.
People behind it are not a well know health organisation but this app has won awards and acclaim in the USA.
It is an easy way to practice mindfulness in a busy lifestyle. The whole app has a laidback feel.
I’d recommend it as one of the easiest, less “Spiritual” meditation apps available. The short meditations could even be done in a lunch hour or on the bus. Moments of mindfulness have health benefits for all kinds of people.
Best of all, it’s FREE!  You can purchase further options; but to just jump in and start using it, it won’t cost you a penny.

4.      Do you think it would make a difference/ be helpful to someone in managing their health/ why ?

5.      Would you recommend this to your nursing/health colleagues or patients to use-why?
