Please help us share the following announcement. We are sure this app challenge will be of interest to the health literacy community, as it provides an opportunity for health literacy professionals to provide input and feedback in the development of a mobile app. How can a mobile app help health consumers make informed health decisions based on healthfinder.gov’s information about services covered under the health reform law, also called the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? How can healthfinder.gov mobile content be tailored for users with limited health literacy? The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is challenging developers to answer these questions - using public input and feedback from you! - while competing for a grand prize of $50,000!
The HHS' Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as an advisor, is challenging teams of developers and health professionals/health consumers to co-design a mobile app that can be used to access customized decision support for preventive services and wellness information from healthfinder.gov.
