Research by a mobile analytics group has found that the usage of health of fitness apps has grown by as much as 330% between 2014 and 2017. Some applications related to anxiety and depression have been approved by the NHS.

The article also includes comments from users of some apps who have developed unhealthy habits with some app usage.

This article could be used within the Health unit, where students provide details of any health related apps that they use and would recommend.
