Hello. If you’re reading this, you probably came across the link in the book Health Tech: Websites, Gadgets and Apps. Below, you will find a chapter-by-chapter, alphabetical list of all the websites mentioned in the book. Click or tap on the links and they will direct you straight to an external website which will open in a new browser tab. We’ve tried to keep them as up-to-date as possible, so if a link printed in the book no longer works, try the ones listed here instead. If you find that any of the links below don’t work, please let us know by emailing [email protected], and we’ll get it fixed.
By the way, as these are all external websites, we (The Helpful Book Company) aren’t responsible for what’s on them – so please click with caution! We’re not endorsing or specifically recommending any of them either – they’re only listed here because they’ve been mentioned in the book.
