Wireless communication revolution
For every 100 adults in the U.S.
90 own a mobile device
50 own a smartphone
20 own an iPhonewww.nielsen.com/us/en/reports/2013/mobile-consumer-report-february-2013.html
Mobile phones more prevalent than computers worldwide
Smartphone ownership growing fastest in non-White, low-income, and less educated groups who use their mobile device as their primary tool for Internet access
Enter the DHHS
● Million Hearts challenged developers to create a mobile app to helps consumers improve heart health
● Marshfield Clinic was among the ~35 entries from around the U.S., and won with their version called Heart Health Mobile (hearthealthmobile.com/app/)
Methods
• Multidisciplinary team of 24 members created to develop the app, with expertise from medicine, epidemiology, health IT, graphic design, legal, business analytics, and marketing
• App successfully developed, tested, and released (for contest) within a 30-day timeframe
• Gamified version developed in several languages, and epidemiologic data on downloads, unique users, geo-segmentation, and other metrics actively collected
Buzz
• Over 200 media mentions following announcement of contest winner
• Featured in CVD health promotion initiatives launched this spring in several major metro areas across the U.S. (Tulsa, Chicago, San Diego, Philadelphia, and Baltimore)
• ~1,500 downloads in February (~5,000 page views)
• Showcased at BIO International Conference
Cumulative HHM page views during Heart Month, stratified by major U.S. geo-segments
HHM page path analysis and average user flowCylinders = pages (volume = relative number of visits) and arrows represent click-throughs (size = proportion of click-throughs). The closer to the left of the graph a given page is, the more likely that it is the first page visited, and the further down, the more time spent on it
Lessons Learned
1) Health apps can be developed/scaled rapidly, with broad ranging adaptations for various health conditions
2) Actual use may be limited in the absence of aggressive background health promotion initiatives or platform
3) For health research, apps may provide real(er)-time data collection methods that can be used to identify atypical health predictors and related trends at a lower cost
4) HHM seems to provide users with important information, but the potential to result in actual CVD health improvements is yet unclear
