Digital technology is transforming healthcare and social care. Along with the introduction of electronic medical records, social media is now widely used in health professional and patient engagement. The number of healthcare apps on the market is also on the rise. Can they be used to improve patient care management? Which apps are the safest? Should we recommend their use?
