Medicine, like sports, always seems to
be wearier of new technology because it’s less reliable. Most
establishments that practice medicine will rely on the tried and true
methods over something new until that new thing can become as reliable
as the old methods. That said, there are some medical apps
that you can get on your smartphone that are worth having. For
instance, Figure 1 is an Android and iOS hidden gem, perfect for all
healthcare professionals.
What is Figure 1?
It is a medical tool
that connects more than 1 million healthcare professionals, one that
helps you view thousands of real-world teaching cases from physicians
and nurses in hundreds of specialties, page healthcare professionals
around the world for instant feedback and communicate with your
colleagues using HIPAA-compliant direct messaging.
Standout Features
Like we said, the Figure 1 app is a
perfect way to connect with other fellow physicians from all around the
globe. To be more specific, you can connect with physicians at

world and special healthcare institutions such as Doctors Without
Borders, Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, and Massachusetts General
