Match3, from iFeel Labs

At a glance. iFeel Labs Match3 looks like a close relative to mind-numbing distraction app games like Candy Crush. Unlike those games however, it incorporates a biosensor to reward asthma and COPD patients learning how to breathe effectively and improve their pulmonary function, all in the context of a colorful game.

CervDx, from MobileODT

CervDx is a cervical cancer screening tool that can be used by trained health care professionals to conduct smarter visual cervical cancer screenings. It enables providers to manage patient information, consult with peers for second opinions, and refer patients for the proper care.

myHealthbox

myHealthbox provides a platform to access official Patient Information Leaflets (PIL) and Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) documents on health care products including: human, animal, and plant medications; drugs; herbal, homoeopathic, and natural remedies; prescription and over-the-counter medicines; beauty products and cosmetics; supplements and medical devices.

Oviva Coach

The Oviva Coach app allows patients receiving nutritional counseling from therapists to interface with them remotely via text messages, surveys, and documents. The app collects data through wearable connectivity and photographs of meals, to provide continued individualized feedback to the patient.

Serenita, from Eco Fusion

Serenita is a stress and focus management app that uses a device's camera in order to asses the stress (and focus) levels of the user. It can also suggest a personalized breathing pattern in order to achieve a more relaxed and concentrated state of being in a time-efficient manner.

Using a personalized breathing exercise, the app engages the Rest & Digest Response, which shuts down the release of stress hormones into the bloodstream, and promotes the release of anti-stress hormones and enzymes such as acetylcholine, prolactin, vasopressin, and oxytocin.

SmokeWatchers

SmokeWatchers is a tool to monitor smoking addiction and kick the habit through real-time support and connected devices. The developers said that SmokeWatchers is the first multi-platform social network designed to help users decrease and ultimately eliminate their dependence on nicotine.

Tinnitracks

Tinnitracks is a digital health solution and certified medical product for neuro-acoustic tinnitus treatment. The app allows users to listen to their music in order to use it for a new tinnitus therapy that is endorsed by the latest neuroscientific findings. Tinnitracks also highlights your music with a high therapeutic potential thanks to the individual analysis of every single file.
