After summer and holidays, perhaps health apps are more relevant than any other time of the year.
Now that vacationers are trying to find their way back to everyday routines.
Watch the clip above to see what some Easterners have to say about it.
Increasingly common in the future
The health apps also give the user the opportunity to increase knowledge about themselves and their health, they can be discreet and contribute to becoming more independent, as you can try to help yourself by, for example, changing a behavior - before or without connecting healthcare.
- Around alcohol, for example, there is a stigma that makes people afraid to seek help to drink less.
For some individuals, I think that it will work very well with digital aids, as you can help yourself on your own.
But it would be best if there was a wide range of support, says researcher Marcus Bendtsen.

Yes, I think so, but for better or worse.
There are lots of apps that will make you increase your physical activity, stop smoking or make you drink less, etc.
But the question is, do they work?
You have to be a little careful if you are looking for help.
Is this tool something that will work for me, has it been properly evaluated, or is it just something someone threw together?
says researcher Marcus Bendtsen.
That health apps must be able to be quality assured going forward is something that the E-Health Authority determined earlier this year.
