The app also fully integrates with LoseIt.com. Price: Free.
Medsy
Medsy reminds people to take their medications, vitamins and supplements. With this app, people no longer need to use pill boxes that arrange medications according to the day of the week. It also can help people remember to take medications during the middle of the day, which pill boxes cannot do. All medical information is stored on the local iPhone, not Medsy’s servers. On the one hand, if Medsy is uninstalled, all the data will be deleted. On the other hand, no one has access to a user’s information, except the user. Price: $3.99.

Asthma MD
Asthma MD helps people who suffer from asthma track their attacks. Users can immediately log an asthma attack after it is over. By tracking one’s attacks, it can be easier to identify triggers. The reports can be sent to a physician, and they can be anonymously uploaded to a database that helps asthma researchers. Price: Free.

These six apps are among the best wellness apps in the iPhone store. They can be used to create a weight-loss plan or check one’s symptoms. But, their use is not limited to general information.
