Mobile Health Consumer

I like that you can access your health plan ID cards as well as the carrier websites directly from the app. I found the wellness videos to be very informative even though they are not very long. Working in the insurance industry I am already familiar with the topics but for employees who are not, the videos provide some great “thinking points” for laymen and are easily understandable, which can perhaps motivate folks to get a better grasp on their health and to be proactive in seeking care.

I registered for the Future Moms program offered through Mobile Health which I found very educational and helpful (especially for a first-time Mom). I received information each week about my baby, along with a diary and questions to ask my doctor. I even had access to nurses which was comforting as a “backup” if I could not reach my doctor. Would totally recommend this program for other moms.

My company launched a social challenge in mobile health that ask you to do something new each week. I wasn’t sure about it at first but I received 500 points to join do I figured why not. I was presently surprised the ‘asks’ each week that could be shared with my family, like going to the farmers market, like trying three new fruits \ vegetables, or a new hobby. Not only did I expand my horizons with new things but it gave me more quality time with my family! Very cool app and I look forward to our next challenge! Mr. O

The last thing I wanted to do was download ANOTHER app for work, but Mobile Health has all my information in one app- allowing me to delete four other apps that were taking up prime real estate! I was not sure about the notifications but one about refilling a medication was a life savor. I had no idea my prescription needed doctor authorization and I was about to leave town on vacation.

My company started using Mobile Health this year and launched a step challenge. It was simple to link my Fitbit to the app. I have always been a moderately active person, but it’s amazing how the challenges bring out the competitive in you. I found myself walking a little further and trying to find all the ways to increase my steps to beat my co-workers!
