Are health apps for phones a good thing?

Hi

I have just come across an article in the Daily Telegraph today regarding the use of health/medical related 'apps' for smart phones.

One app is apparently being designed that will allow i phone users to cough into their phone to help diagnose whether it is serious or not.

The article can be seen below:

Cheers

That's why it's called the Daily BellyLaugh Jo, it's a joke of a paper, crossword used to be good though (in the 70's).

I think I would rather have a fully functional NHS than another crazy half baked idea from the former health secretary Andrew Lansley MP for the "worried well".
