BEST NEW NHS APPROVED HEALTH & WELLBEING APPS
In their drive for more effective treatments, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is now recommending the best new apps for health and wellbeing. 365 Positivity is amongst them. By Ben Arogundade.
DIGITAL HEALTH & WELLBEING: A selection of quotes from the iOS and Android app 365 Positivity, now approved by the National Health Service (NHS) as one of its “safe and trusted apps to help you manage your health.”
IN MARCH 2013 Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) launched their Health Apps Library. It consists of a collection of health and wellbeing apps that have been reviewed, tested and approved by healthcare professionals, app developers and the general public, as being clinically safe and relevant to the needs of patients.
365 Positivity is of the best new NHS-approved health and wellbeing apps to appear on the platform. Created for both iOS and Android, the app pings short inspirational quotes direct to users mobile each day for a year. The app — which is free for seven days, then $1.99/£1.49 thereafter — is like a set of digital fortune cookies — each haiku-like nugget of wisdom is designed to entertain, inform, inspire positive actions, or even change behaviours — all through a collection of original quotes that convey big ideas in small sentences.
