Apps continue to grow in importance for smartphone users, as more people spend more time in apps and less time on the mobile web. With the recent launches of HealthKit, Apple Watch and more, health and wellness is no exception to the trend.

We’ve run the numbers and put together a list of the top five iOS and Android health and medical apps for September, both paid and unpaid. If you’re a developer building or thinking about building an mHealth or wearable app, you’ll want to ensure your app is HIPAA compliant.
