Happtique aims to be your total mobile healthcare (mHealth) destination. It is the first mobile application store developed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals.  We have begun by “curating” the Apple catalog of health-related apps, with mHealth apps (or hApps, as we like to call them) on Android and other platforms to follow. We will also be offering special pricing for all non-Apple platforms.

In addition, Happtique offers forums where healthcare professionals and others interested in mHealth can chat, ask questions, and share information about apps and devices specific to the healthcare industry.

Happtique is part of a family of companies dedicated to helping hospitals, physicians, and others deliver the highest-quality care at the lowest cost. Happtique is committed to these same goals by actively promoting the use of mobile health technology.  Like many, we think that mobile health technology and hApps (mHealth apps) can make a tremendous difference in the quality and cost of healthcare.

Register with Happtique. Once you have completed registration, we will provide a link to the Happtique iPhone/iPad app catalog. This link will look like an app, but is actually a Web clip—a specially formatted website for Apple devices. Once you are logged on to the Happtique website, you can access the link to the Web clip in the “Store Preview” section. Just click on the icon to install it. Once installed, you will have access to the Happtique catalog of Apple medical apps.

Happtique is an Apple affiliate, and our goal is to help you search the Apple iTunes store more efficiently. Happtique has “curated” the iTunes medical apps, sorting them by disease and medical professional, and will soon be classifying them further by subspecialty, and the like. The Happtique classification system is supervised by a team that includes physicians, nurses, and a medical librarian using the same vocabulary as healthcare professionals.

No. Using Happtique to search for mHealth apps is absolutely free. If you wish to purchase any apps, simply click on the “Download from iTunes” button and complete the transaction with your iTunes account.
