Description[edit]
We challenge you to develop an engaging and empowering customized Healthy People 2020 application for Healthy People stakeholders – professionals, advocates, funders and decision makers – who will be using Healthy People to improve the health of the Nation.
Healthy People 2020 is the Nation’s health promotion and disease prevention agenda for the decade, including goals, 40 plus topic areas, and 100s of data-driven objectives and targets.
Now that Healthy People 2020 is launched, each of its thousands of stakeholders is invested in achieving the goal of longer, healthier lives for all Americans. These stakeholders need customizable tools to help them reach this goal in their workplaces and communities.
Features could include mash-ups, easy-to-use data visualizations, analytics, reporting, and other novel combinations of national, state and community level health data. The app will enable users to tailor their areas of interest so that the app will automatically download the most current version of their preselected areas. This app will enable myHealthyPeople to be accessible on desktops and/ or mobile devices.
