Julie Deardorff of the Chicago Tribune writes on the the new health and fitness apps for the iPhone:

These programs can literally put all your health records—including digital images such as ultrasounds and echocardiograms—into the palm of your hand. Or they can administer eye exams or keep track of your calories and exercise.

We’ve talked about this before (here and here) but now the question is, will the the new ‘mobileme’ generation push the demand for the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) and personal health records (PHRs)?
