Question 1

is it possible to 'follow' and write to a particular physician on the healthtap app?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not possible to send a message on HealthTap to a particular doctor. We do not provide medical advice or care on this forum, but just information. Conversations with doctors are through our other forum, that you reach by selecting Talk To Doctor. There, you get a private consultation. Currently, users cannot "follow" a doctor, but "following" may have been a feature in past years.

Question 2

which doctors on this healthtap app prescribe hepatitis c medication?

Accepted Answer

Not on this forum: This is the free, informational HealthTap service. Questions and answers here are brief, public, and neither medical care nor prescriptions are provided. Perhaps you had a consultation with a doctor via HealthTap's premium services, such as their virtual consultations. For help with issues related to private virtual consultations, contact HealthTap's support team (not this public forum). 2019

Question 3

is their  any apps designed especially for diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes Forum: There is an app called diabetes forum which is basically a support group of diabetics discussing diabetes with a very knowledgable moderator.  I believe that this is a very good place to discuss your concerns and get practical answers.

Question 4

this app free

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is free if: If you did not ask for premium, paid services, then this HealthTap public forum is free. Post your question in English, with good grammar and spelling, and one or more of the thousands of volunteer doctors may answer it. They might skip repetitive questions, or ones that have too many abbreviations, or are otherwise hard to understand. (HealthTap's premium services include private consultations.)

Question 7

is this suppose to me a fun app?!?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This is a service for providing quick, basic answers & advice for people sending in questions. It is not a game. It can give you information to help you decide what to do about a medical condition you have questions about.

Question 8

what are the hottest apps around health/wellness?

Accepted Answer

Here is one: There is an excellent iphone / ipad / ipod app that gives research-based preventive health recommendations on cancer tests, vaccines and healthy lifestyle behaviors is called my health checklist 2012. Written by a doctor, it is easy to understand and use, and allows you to generate lists of recommendations by age and gender, high risk factors, and a complete a-z topic list. Check it out in itunes!

Question 9

this app is not helpfull it just states the obvious?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry: That you aren't finding it useful.  The purpose of the free app is to provide information only. We cannot diagnose and treat based on the limited information that can be provided here.  Many medical problems are quite complex and a face to face patient physician encounter is the only safe and appropriate action.  Best wishes to you.  I hope you are able to find the answers you seek.

Question 10

how does a white noise app work?

Accepted Answer

White noise: It produces white noise, which is noise just below the threshold of what we usually hear. It can be used to help muffle noise, so you can sleep. It also can help people who have ringing in their ears.
