The goal of the app is to provide an easy to use application that enables users manage and access their healthcare benefits. The app aims to put the ‘care’ in healthcare by ensuring users get quality and timely access to healthcare either remotely or in-person
TARGET AUDIENCE
HealthAssure is designed specifically for young professionals who lead busy lives and value the importance of having a dependable health maintenance organization (HMO) service. With their hectic schedules and demanding work commitments, these individuals require a healthcare solution that is convenient, trustworthy, and tailored to their needs. HealthAssure aims to cater to these young working-class individuals, providing them with a reliable HMO service that ensures their health and well-being are well taken care of.
Challenges
One of the challenges faced by young adults who require an HMO service is their busy lifestyle. These individuals lead fast-paced lives, juggling various responsibilities and commitments. As a result, they often struggle to find the time and convenience to access the healthcare services they need. They seek a solution that offers easy and user-friendly access, allowing them to efficiently manage their healthcare needs without adding additional stress or complexity to their already hectic schedules.

The user ID screen allows users access to a digital HMO ID in the event that they are not with the physical card at the healthcare center. The ID is also scannable by the attendant to get full details of the patient. Other information including plan type, ID number and expiry date are also visible. Users can also click to renew their subscription at anytime.
The Hospitals screen shows all the hospitals close by and their respective distance from the user location. User can also click on the “H” icon to get the Hospital details.
