Are healthcare apps actually useful, or just digital clutter?
The good ones do—but "good" is specific. Useful apps help manage chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension), track medication adherence, enable teleconsultations, or give patients direct access to their records. An app like MyChart is valued because it connects patients to their actual care team and data, not just generic advice. The key is integration: the app should link to clinical systems, be secure, and feel like part of care, not an extra chore. Utility isn't about features. It's about connection.
