According a recent study of studies<\/a> from the Mayo Clinic, the use of health-related smartphone apps, text-message reminders, and other digital technologies significantly reduced recurrences of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular illnesses. Specifically, the use of these technologies was associated with a significant 1.24% reduction in patients\u2019 Framingham risk score, which estimates the 10-year risk of a first heart attack. Digital health technologies also reduced adverse events in secondary-prevention trials by 40% compared with controls, a level of risk reduction greater than seen with cholesterol-lowering statins, low-dose aspirin, and anti-hypertension drugs.<\/p>\n

The meta-analysis reviewed 51 studies conducted in North America, Asia, and Europe from 2003 to 2013. Cumulatively, the studies included 24,054 patients assigned to digital-health interventions and 10,333 controls who received traditional care without a digital intervention.<\/p>\n

Renowned entrepreneur, investor, and tech evangelist Marc Andreesen famously coined the phrase \u201csoftware is eating the world\u201d<\/a> to describe the broad technological and economic shift technology is having on our daily lives. Although healthcare has not been a leader in the dominance of software, this study and others like it<\/a> are showing that software can and is having dramatic impacts on health and wellness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
