‘Last week, I spoke at the TED MED conference. It‘s like the much higher-profile TED conference… but under different management and, of course, dedicated to healthcare topics.

My assignment was to speak for 18 minutes (the standard talk length) about medical apps for the Apple iPhone. Sounds easy, right? Only one problem: there are about 7,000 medical apps.

After a lot of time reading “best medical apps” stories online, asking Twitter users for their suggestions and reading online reviews, I finally boiled the list down to about 50 promising apps. I tried them out and further winnowed the list to a bunch that I ultimately demo’ed in my talk. Eventually, the video of the talk will be posted at ted.com/talks, but in the meantime, here’s what I covered.

Among other apps, David wrote this about soundAMP:

*SoundAMP. Turns the iPhone into a hearing aid. Amplifies and processes voices to make them clearer. Even has a 30-second replay button that can save you from having to say “What?” so often. ($9.99)”
