SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- MobileHealthMarketplace.com, a new website launched this week, is the first directory of mobile health and medical Apps which focuses on solutions that connect patients and medical professionals with  company health, wellness, workers' compensation and safety programs.  

With over 40,000 health and medical Apps used on Smartphones and tablets today, the task of identifying the right mobile health tools is complex.   MobileHealthMarketplace.com simplifies this decision-making process by providing a prescreened directory of Apps grouped into 33 categories.  These Apps support:

• Employer and individual health and wellness efforts including diet, fitness, medication management, ergonomics, stress control and other healthy behaviors.
• Treatment of chronic diseases, illnesses and injuries including diabetes, cancer, heart conditions, musculoskeletal ailments and similar conditions. 
• New medical technology platforms for telemedicine, patient engagement, risk assessment and other systems.
• Program-specific solutions for health, wellness, workers' compensation and safety programs.

For each App listed, MobileHealthMarketplace.com summarizes key information in a standard format which makes it easy to compare different options.   This information includes a succinct description of each App's purpose, the background of the developer, customer service capabilities, privacy and security policies and ability to interface with other software platforms.   Links are provided to the developer's site and to the iTunes and Google Play stores.  

According to Mike Allen, President of Mobile Health Marketplace LLC, "By simplifying the process of selecting Apps, our directory will speed up the implementation of mobile technologies and improve healthcare delivery."

The market for health and medical apps is expected to grow at more than 60% per year through 2017, according to a report by Research and Markets.  To keep site visitors up-to-speed on new developments in this fast-changing environment,  MobileHealthMarketplace.com will provide news and useful information about the industry at the Tech Talk Weblog.  The current post summarizes 10 Ways Health and Medical Apps Can Improve Workplace Health.
