      ab: Phones have evolved from a two-way analog form of communication to palm sized computers called smartphones. Smartphones support audio, video, text, email communication, calendars, lists, contacts, journals, calculators, pictures, weather updates, medical applications and more. One of the greatest advantages of using healthcare applications on smartphones is convenience. The portability supports quick access to references and tools that have not been easily accessible until now. Smartphones even assist healthcare workers with completing their daily tasks. For example, nurses may teach patients about monitoring their health, such as tracking their blood pressure by using tools on smartphones. A variety of applications are available for managing chronic disease, diet, exercise and lifestyle choices. While smartphones have many useful features, like any other technology, smartphones are ever changing with more advanced features. This creates a challenge for nurses to keep up with the latest but there are helpful guides and websites dedicated to this topic. This paper will briefly review smartphone adoption, various operating systems for smartphones, and highlight more commonly used applications and websites.
