Health apps are the least popular category of app downloaded on itunes today.Even the most popular apps struggle with staying power meaning that most people lose interest in the app after the first month and by the 12th month a user may only have 4 percent of the apps he originally downloaded 12 months ago- these are considering popular apps – health apps may suffer from quicker loss of interest or they may be better – overall their general popularity is the lowest of all apps. People struggle with wanting to manage their health.RTC- WellDocFDA approval for health app related to intent of device- Agile versus waterful method of development--FDA will lose good developers with a process that is outdated.
