The Health@Hand app gives members access to health and wellness features. Since the iPhone is equipped to know exactly where someone is, Highmark members can find nearby participating Highmark medical facilities and healthcare providers such as hospitals, urgent care facilities, retail clinics, and pharmacies.
The app also provides interactive health information that allows members to look up information about illnesses, symptoms and medical conditions. A health and wellness section of the app offers health coaching tips and information about health and wellness programs available to Highmark members.
"Mobile phone applications open up an entirely new channel for interaction with our members. It makes health care and wellness information more portable and accessible," says Matthew Childs, Highmark Web strategy and development vice president. "We chose to focus our app on health and wellness because Highmark has a long-standing commitment to helping our members have a greater hand in their health."
