Ok, I will try and give you info as I read the magazine over the next few days. Here is something I read.

LIMB VOLUME CALCULATOR APP- LYMPHTRACKER is the first ever limb volume calculator app available on iphone and ipad dedicated to the lymphedema patient. It allows patients to measure, follow and share their limb volumes via email. Patients use a tape measure to record measurements at home and get instant feedback on limb volume changes.

The app creates a graph of measurements over time and patients can email the reports to their interdisciplinary care team with the click of a button. Other helpful features include the ability to schedule measurement reminders and information section about lymphedema and the inernationally accepted treatment methods.

LymphTracker can be purchased from your app sore fo 99 cents.

WOW I like this news. Who will be the first techy to try this? Let us know.

More to come later.

Also a Mobile app that finds therapists - Look4LE is a mobile app, by the American Lymphedema Framework Project, to help find a therapist in your area who are trained to treat lymphedema. The app currently features almost 1000 Lana cerified therapists( including some Canadains) and the list is growing with plans to add more therapists soon. You can find therapists using the directory, or by accesssing the apps built in map feature to search by location name, zip code , or your current location. Each therapist has a contact page where you can find phone, street, web  and email address, view a map, get directions, and add the therapist to your system contacts. There are also a number of resources listed in the app with links to webpages and organizations. Free for Ipad and Iphone in the App store. For more infor  www.alfp.org
