Patient-centric healthcare apps are applications that run on smartphones, and provide updates regarding medicine dosage timings, number of calories consumed, dehydration levels in body, and other body parameters of the patient or user. Various key players provide apps free-of-cost to users, but major services such as interactions with doctors are charged on the basis of a one-time fee or a subscription.
