Why are some apps free and others not?
Developing an app is expensive. Developers need to pay programmers, designers, and health experts. To cover costs, they often need to generate income.
Some apps are initially free but require payment later. Others are paid from the start. Some remain free thanks to financial support from governments or foundations.
We’ve ensured that free, low-cost, or trial options are included to reduce barriers and help as many people as possible find suitable tools.
All apps were selected for their quality. They are developed by independent companies or organizations with no ties to the selection committee.
Do these apps replace healthcare professionals?
No. The apps on this site can support your efforts toward wellness and self-management, but they do not replace consultations with health professionals.
If your symptoms are severe, persistent, or worsening, please consult a health professional.
Do these apps protect my privacy?
All listed apps were reviewed to ensure they have clear privacy policies and follow best practices in data protection. No app was selected without confirming this.
That said, we always recommend reading the terms of use before installing any app.
