Examples of health apps

Health apps for fitness und physical activity

In the context of health, exercise, sport, active lifestyle naturally plays an important role. Some health apps have been designed and developed to help track and analyse physical activities. These include, for example: Steps, distances run, calories burned or workouts. There are also apps that provide training plans, demonstrate fitness exercises or create personalised training programmes.

Health apps for nutrition and weight management 


Another important health issue is nutrition. Some health apps are designed and developed to map the following functions:

Health apps for sleep monitoring

Another important health issue is sleep. Many health apps are being developed to record and analyse the sleep cycle. These health apps can help improve sleep habits and optimise wake-up times.

Health apps for medical information and records

There are apps that are developed to allow users to manage their medical information such as medications, appointments, symptoms or lab results. These health apps can also often send reminders for medication or doctor's appointments.

Health apps for mental health and relaxation

Mental health is another important component of health. Some health apps are being developed to map and promote techniques for stress management, meditation, mindfulness or relaxation. Often these apps can also keep mood logs or offer digital therapy programmes.

What is Blended Care?

Blended care, also known as integrated or hybrid care, is an innovative approach to healthcare that combines the benefits of digital technology with traditional, face-to-face healthcare. This approach aims to improve the quality of healthcare and facilitate access to care while increasing the efficiency of the healthcare system.

The basic idea behind blended care is to seamlessly integrate digital health solutions such as DiGA, health apps or telemedicine into health care. Traditional treatment methods are combined with online, i.e. web- or app-based modules.

Health apps and online platforms provide information and self-help tools to help patients proactively manage their health. The integration of blended care applications in mental health is also increasing.

One example is the client project „AllyWell", which focuses on the mental health of children and parents.

On the one hand, this makes it possible to respond more flexibly and quickly to the needs of patients without sacrificing the quality of care, and on the other hand, to relieve doctors in their daily work and to provide them with additional support.

Blended care solutions offer the following advantages:
