Medical procedures. Create apps to help those with special needs

Given the proliferation of applications of all forms and functions these days, it may be timely to consider developing apps that can help those with special needs prepare for visits to the doctor or for medical procedures.

This may work out much more effectively for them than the verbal-gestural instructions, reminders or assurances from medical staff or family members trying to convey such messages.
