Google has launched a medical category for Android.

Great news for medical providers…iMedicalApps is reporting that Google has finally launched a medical category for apps in the Android Marketplace. One year after Apple launched its iPhone, it added a medical category for healthcare professionals to its app store. Google’s Android Marketplace, on the other hand, has been much slower to segment the healthcare category into consumer health apps and healthcare provider medical apps. The apps in Google’s new medical category appear to be categorized correctly.
