A new type of new media can be a healthcare application on a smartphone or any mobile device. Diseases and mental illnesses have become prominent in today’s society and it is discussed about a lot on social media of people sharing their stories and struggles with it. I was thinking about an app that gives reminders of what one should do in order to combat the mental illness or disease, what types of exercise, medication, meditation, etc, they need to help them throughout the day. If one is diagnosed with a disease (and by an actual doctor), the doctor can sign off on the medication and basically use the app to remind their patients on what to do and when to do it. I feel like this idea can really help the general public.
