It is not only helpful in order to obtain positive outcomes, but required to meet certain medical compliance standards.

Advancements in technology continue to provide us with faster ways to collect more thorough data than ever before. From computers to mobile devices and now wearables, each piece of tech helps us to learn more. We can use technology to better understand sleep patterns, for instance, or how running affects us physiologically, but how do we organize that data for more useful purposes? Zenobase is an app that lets you store, visualize and correlate data from wearable devices with custom data or data from other sources to understand it on a higher level. For instance, you can better understand the question of sleep patterns when you can correlate as much information as possible, such as how the phase of the moon affects them. You can go beyond the effects of running to determine whether swimming or running affects you more positively. There are myriad possibilities, and Zenobase can open them all. 
Even with everything Facebook has to offer, some organizations continue struggling to engage with supporters in meaningful ways using the actions it provides like the ability to like, share or comment on something. Nonprofits still worry about the real cost and benefit of Facebook as a platform for reaching supporters and deepening engagement with them over time. ActionSprout is an app that helps organizations unlock their Facebook fans with actions that move beyond “like,” “share,” and “comment” to give dozens of relevant social actions to engage supporters with directly on their own Facebook pages. More engagement costs more money, and the Facebook is gradually reducing the number of fans receiving updates in their news feeds. Still, it can make a major impact on an organization’s ability to build productive relationships with supporters. Even the relatively recent “Promote” function provides nonprofits and campaigns with a new tool for engaging its strongest supporters. 
When it comes to motivating ourselves to achieve goals, many people need some help, and sometimes a little extra push is necessary. Many people even have “life coaches” for this very reason. Now, there is My Pocket Coach, an app that can help motivate individuals form good habits or break bad ones. Whether you want to stop smoking, start walking every day, or even simply remember to floss every morning, My Pocket Coach can help you track your progress in achieving or eliminating habits and goals as needed. It constantly reminds you what steps you need to take in your life to make important, lasting changes in your lifestyle. 
It is vital that companies and brands interact with consumers as effectively as possible, but it can be difficult for several reasons. For one thing, consumer data is “siloed;” that is, organizations do not regularly use it in their daily operations, and this data is unavailable for sharing. Generalized data can predict trends, but companies cannot take action or use it to connect with individual consumers. Truly useful data is deeper, real-time consumer information, and what has previously occurred may not be useful. The Appreciation Engine exists to deal with all these concerns as, in its developers’ words, a social analytics tool for brands who want to better understand consumers and “talk” to them. It eases the pressure to respond to customers in personalized ways and helps brands to stop giving their customer data away to social networks and one-time promotional campaigns. The platform’s creators promise that it can help organizations stop guessing and start knowing what their customers really want. 
Making the most of the time we have is one of the most difficult things to do. Many people are easily distracted or forgetful, and many find that there simply is not enough time to do everything they hope to accomplish. For this reason, people have always sought to apply the latest technology to help us keep track of time more effectively, and methods such as timing individual tasks or counting down to a particular point are very useful techniques. OK Timer from the GO development team, which focuses on making practical apps for smartphones that are simple, user-friendly and attractive, is a timer app specifically designed for smartphones. It works in the same way as a stopwatch, though there is a bit more to it than that. It may seem simplistic, but it offers some key features that make it useful. The app marketplace may be flooded with timer apps, and almost every phone has one as one of its basic functions, but a few things set it apart to make it worthwhile. 
While the number of Americans affected by Celiac Disease is not particularly high, studies show that number is rising. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye that people with celiac disease must avoid. Unfortunately, there is a certain stigma to the popularity of gluten-free diets, and many believe that it is just a fad. There are, however, people who genuinely suffer from a gluten intolerance and even more who have a sensitivity. Fortunately, it is becoming easier to transition to a gluten-free diet due to greater access to information online, more recognition in the medical community, and improved gluten-free options at grocery stores. Stuffed Pepper is a startup offering a community for people on a gluten-free diet with recipes, restaurant reviews, health articles from experts, a forum, and more. Whether a user is just beginning the diet or a veteran, there is something of interest for everyone. 
Millions of Americans rely on prescriptions to help them live better lives, some even to survive. Unfortunately, prescriptions can be expensive, particularly since patients are required to purchase them on a regular basis. With the current state of the insurance system in the U.S., many patients cannot afford the co-pays required for their medications. Medmonk’s creators designed it as a tool to help pharmacists find funding for patients who can no longer afford their medications. It assists patients in getting the drugs they need, enables pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies to reach more patients, and protects insurers against bigger claims. Because there is no profit in it, very few pharmacies can afford to help patients who have trouble making payments for their prescriptions. Medmonk exists because independent pharmacies can use a great deal of help in that regard. 
There are many art dealers online and plenty of art to find in any number of online marketplaces. Digital art is a form quickly gaining in popularity, and there are now online marketplaces dedicated strictly to this newer form. NeonMob sets itself apart by being more than merely Internet sales for digital art, as a way for artists to create and sell their art with an unusual emphasis on trading, collecting and exchanging among buyers. There is a community among its user base, acting as a social network of sorts for the collection and trading of limited-edition prints of a digital artist’s works. 
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases of our time, and it often leads to additional health problems. It can damage blood vessels and cause shortening and stiffening of tendons in the foot and elsewhere in the body. Thus, a diabetic’s feet are particular affected by the disease, and even standing still for a period can cause pressure sores. Podimetrics’ creators designed it as a means of keeping diabetic feet healthy. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common conditions people suffer, with nerve damage occurring particularly in the legs and feet as the result of high blood sugar. It leads first to foot ulcers and, all too often, to eventual amputation of the feet, but it is also highly preventable. The key to Podimetrics is in its ability to stop foot ulcers before they begin.
