Healthy living
How can health and wellbeing apps help you and your loved ones live more healthily?
Health apps offer easy, engaging, and accessible ways to help you better manage your goals. For instance, apps have the power to support fitness plans, provide advice about diet, connect you with health and care professionals to discuss and manage your health and wellbeing, and help you to better stick to personalised plans. Studies also suggest that evidence-based digital health tools can complement existing treatment plans you may have been given by your health or care professional. With the recent impact of COVID-19 on the delivery of face-to-face care, apps may be able to offer additional support in light of reduced accessibility to in-person healthy living services.
But apps don’t just provide opportunities to support your physical wellbeing. A big part of keeping your body healthy is also looking after your mental wellbeing. Just as physical health conditions can have an impact on your mental health, so too can mental health conditions or poor mental wellbeing affect being able to take care of your physical health. Apps can provide support with improving mental wellbeing and managing mental health conditions which, in turn, can improve your physical wellbeing and ability to live a healthy life.
