It is very easy to educate patients on types of rashes as it references the 40 of most common.

What is it for:
Encouraging and rewarding physical activity.
How I use it:
Prescribe to patients who have barriers to accessing fitness.
Why I like it:
As life becomes more complicated and work more sedentary, it can be a challenge to find the time and resources to be active and reverse the increasing risk of obesity. This free app is based on a scientifically tested training regimen that requires nothing more than a wall, a floor, a chair, and as little as seven minutes a day. http://bit.ly/1lXBNmo
Positive features:
The audio counter and “trainer”. It’s free. It can be used on iPad or iPhone.
What could be better:
The illustrations are static, so people need to see the movements beforehand and use the illustrations as reminders.
Additional:
Can be part of a SMART plan to increase activity in those who travel often, have sedentary jobs, cannot access equipment, or can only spare seven minutes a day for activity.
Cost:
Free for basic program with freemium top-ups to access other workouts.
