Pager - Bring Doctors to Your Door


Name: Pager
By: TECHCARE, INC.
Price: FREE (iOS) + Paid Service
Category: Medical

Imagine if we could travel back to the days where doctors actually came to us while we waited comfortably in our homes. This is exactly what Pager offers - a house call service that let's you summon a doctor to your door whenever you or a loved one is sick, injured, or just needs a check up. 


Pager is a pay-per-use service, but it's free to download to your iPhone. After a quick account setup, you'll see three options for requesting a doctor visit: 



Upon selection, a doctor will contact you to confirm and will be at your door in under two hours. It's that easy! Sit back and relax, knowing a board-certified doctor is on their way to offer you personalized, quality care. 

One of the best features for busy professionals is that doctors are on-call from 8am through 10pm, everyday.  They'll come to your home or office with all of their supplies to prescribe medicine, perform diagnostic tests, stitch up wounds, order lab tests, etc.

Currently, new users pay just $49 for their first visit, and a flat $199 after that. No hidden fees or extra add-ons - you'll know the exact cost before committing. Pager also notes that these fees are reimbursable by most healthcare insurance plans, and they are working with top healthcare companies to eventually have the fees covered up front. 

As of now, the service is only available in New York City, but they are working to expand to other cities in the future. Check their website for the latest news.

The next time you can't get out of bed, you'll be thankful to have Pager installed, and a doctor a few taps away.

1 Second Everyday - Capture and Share Your Life



Name: 1 Second Everyday
By: Cesar Kuriyama
Price: $2.99 (iOS) | FREE (Android) + In-App Purchase
Category: Photo & Video

Can you remember what you did every day last year?  What about the year before that?  I can. 1 Second Everyday by Cesar Kuriyama is one of my most important and impressive apps, because it preserves my favorite memories and mashes them all together into a single video montage that's easy to digest, exciting to relive, and fun to share.




My 1 Second Everyday Year in Review - 2014


1 Second Everyday (1SE) has changed the way I record videos - for the better!  The app makes it easy to select your favorite second of video from each day of your life. Rather than taking a dozen videos at every special event or shooting long clips I'll probably never end up watching all the way through, I shoot just enough footage to capture the moment. Then I put the phone away and enjoy that moment.  All I need is one good second!

And what about all the rest of the days where I'm not at an exciting event? All those in between days that matter just as much but don't always draw out the camera?  Because of this app, I am reminded to take at least one video each day to capture my everyday life - the meals I've cooked, the snow on the ground, the nights curled up on the couch with popcorn and a movie.  When I look back at my 1SE video montage, some of my favorite moments happened on the most normal of days. Without this app, precious memories might have faded with time.

Once all these seconds are mashed together, the final video tells a story of your life over time.  Watch a whole month in 30 seconds or a full year in about 6 minutes.  Each single second often triggers memories of entire days. I can relive full experiences just from these quick snapshots and share so much of my life with a single video.


1 Second Everyday definitely ranks highly in the Apposphere, and I urge everyone to give it a shot.
