In an effort to promote healthy habits, the American Heart Association has released a mobile app to encourage walking as part of your daily routine.  Walking Paths helps you create and find paths as you go and is now available for the Android, iPhone and iPad.

To find a path, search by location and specify your preferred type of path (Amusement Parks, Downtown, Parks & Recreation Trails, etc), difficulty level (Easy, Moderate, High), and path distance (Less than 1 mile, 1-3 miles, 3-6 miles, More than 6 miles). See Find a Walking Path for information on saving, syncing and managing your paths.

The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) is offering a new mobile app on clinical practice guidelines for cancer care. The free app is available for iPhone, iPad and Android, and is based on the ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines, published in Annals of Oncology.

The guidelines were developed, based on evidence-based medicine, to help patients and caregivers better understand cancer diagnosis and treatment options.
Each guideline provides incidence of disease, staging, diagnostic criteria, risk assessment, treatment options, and follow-up care. Users can download the recommendations to their devices, bookmark important sections, and share with others.
