I encourage all my patients to follow appropriate nutrition and research other options for themselves. These apps are an excellent step towards improving peopleβs knowledge in this area.β Shahin Tabatabaei, MD Mass General Hospital; Harvard Medical School βThis series of apps provide dietary recommendations focused on common chronic health problems. They are easy to understand and thus easy to implement into daily life. Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series.
