WebMD, available for iOS and Android mobile operating systems, provides a symptom checker allowing users to indicate pain or symptom levels to learn about potential conditions or issues (http://bit.ly/1tHoL2U). "We are thrilled," said David Ziegler, director of mobile product management. "In addition to improving the look and feel of the entire app and our popular symptom checker utility, we wanted to offer users the ability to read about healthy living-related content on a daily basis." My Wellness Journal is a personal health record app created by California-based Project Tiki (http://bit.ly/1f7Rjyy).</p><br clear="all"/>
