MCHD Healthcare App Recognized By National Agency

The Mobile County Health Department (MCHD) and Family Health, its primary care division, announced the release of an app called “My MCHD Health Check” in 2022. It served as a new way for the health department to connect with Mobile County residents and visitors, providing information quickly and efficiently to anyone with a smartphone. The Health Resources and Services Administration recently featured the software on its Health Center Stories webpage. The article, “Free App May Help Lower Blood Pressure in Alabama Patients,” states that more than 3,000 people have downloaded the application to access health information, check blood pressure and get dietary suggestions. The app had been downloaded 3,211 times as of February 16. The next goal is set for 4,500 total downloads by the end of June. The MCHD app was developed by ThePublicHealthApp.com, a division of OCV, LLC. New features are also planned for the future. The app is available for download for free in the App Store and Google Play.
