Mobile apps for smartphones are changing the way doctors and their patients approach medicine and health issues. As apps and technology improve, healthcare professionals are  able to look at data on a regular basis, rather than once a year. Overall, wearables have the potential to affect a paradigm shift in medicine, transforming the patient-doctor experience from one that is based on an encounter to one that is continuous and focuses on the patients’ overall well-being. Digital apps, wearables and home diagnostic tests – as well as dietary supplements – gives consumers ways of personalizing and immersing self-care into daily life. There are different kinds of technology that healthcare startups use these days like AI, IoT, etc.
