Wonder if you’re missing out on health care apps you can use? This directory might help.

POCKET.MD says it’s the “world's first and only online service focused exclusively on providing the most comprehensive directory of mobile applications created by pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies.”

The directory’s creator, Fabio Gratton, @skypen, writes on the website, “I created this project, frankly, because of my personal obsession with keeping track of the health care industry's contributions to innovation in the mobile app space.”

Mobile apps aren’t for sale on the website, but it does provide links to directories where health care professionals can purchase or download apps.

The site includes about 250 apps and invites users to submit information on other mobile apps.
