📅 Top Health Apps in Australia 2020 📲

Smartphones, for better or worse, have become the remote control to our lives.

Although for the majority, hands-on, “clinical” healthcare has not yet entered their phone-use, there are plenty of apps that are used in relation to our health, be it a workout app, an appointment booking app for your medical centre or a sleep tracking app.

doctology could not access the full detailed dataset for the calendar year, but by some persistent, manual investigation over the course of the holidays we surmised that by looking at the most downloaded medical category and health category apps in the top 100 in Australia for a day in December (the only data freely available), we get a good idea of what sits on our devices right now.

Check out the Australian-made apps and companies we were able to extract below:
