A doctor in Mumbai has created a new app for the android smart phones that will make using and storing data easier for patients with arthritis. The application offers a second feature which is designed to help patients with lupus. This application is provided at no cost and it does not require that your physician has an android enabled phone.

This is crucial as many lupus sufferers have rashes that appear and disappear between appointments. Documentation of these rashes can help physicians to more accurately diagnose conditions and prescribe treatments.
