A health management application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to track their overall wellbeing, including medication, fitness, and diet. Health management apps usually offer users the ability to log food intake, exercise activity, weight, blood pressure measurements, sleep data, and other health-related information. The app may also enable users to analyze this information over time in order to reach goals such as weight loss or improved cardiovascular parameters.

Health management apps have much in common with pain management apps, fitness tracking apps, and weight loss apps. Some of the most popular health management apps today are MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Daily Burn.

A health management app can grow quickly by providing a high level of value for a specific type of user. There are many health management apps on the market today, and users choose their health-management apps based on the platforms that speak directly to their needs. Health-management apps need to show users that they understand what those users want in order to achieve long-term retention. They also need to demonstrate that there is a large pool of eligible users already on the platform.

Health management apps can face risks related to the handling of sensitive personal information and medical research ethics. For health management apps, it is important to work with a group of legal experts who have experience in the Health Care industry to ensure that you are meeting all necessary legal requirements for storing and transmitting health-related information. You should also consult with an expert in medical research ethics to ensure that your app is following best practices for conducting medical research with human subjects.
