Staffs County Council launch Health App Finder

Published 9 July 2020

Launch of a new easy-to-use ‘Community Health and Wellbeing App Finder’

During the current ongoing coronavirus outbreak, we are all adapting to new ways of delivering health and wellbeing guidance and care support to our at-risk residents in our communities.  Health apps is one way to help older residents or those with long-term conditions to manage their health at home, but there are literally thousands to choose from and not all apps can be trusted to offer up to date advice.  

So how can our residents know which ones are good and trustworthy, or can safely be recommended to their family or loved ones?

To help our most vulnerable manage their health with the most trusted health related apps that meet specific needs, Staffordshire County Council is now offering free access to a super easy-to-use Health and Wellbeing App Finder service.

The new online health app finder offers an invaluable free resource for parish councils, volunteers, local organisations, community leaders, and carers, as well as the general public to access an easy-to-use library of fully reviewed and handpicked health apps.

The library is safe and secure to use and features hundreds of apps all independently reviewed and rated, and proven to deliver results and help manage specific conditions and more general health and wellbeing, including:

• Anxiety and Stress
• Diabetes
• Weight loss & fitness
• Dementia
• Mental Wellbeing
• Cancer
• Muscular and Arthritic conditions
• Stopping Smoking
• Pregnancy
• And hundreds more
