Mobile Health Rankings
Mobile Health Rankings combines the GPS on mobile devices and the home inventory database on Zillow.com with county health rankings. While, Zillow’s mobile application allows users to identify real estate properties on the go, Acsys has added the additional information layer of county health rankings.
Each listing is enhanced by revealing six aspects of county health including: mortality, morbidity, clinical care, social and economic factors, physical environment and health behaviors.
Pain Care
Ringful Health creates a pain journal application to better manage the issue of poor pain management. Many patients receive poor pain management and most pain related issues do not have a one-size-fits all answer.
To personalize pain management, Pain Care takes multiple factors into consideration including: scale of pain, duration, triggers, medicine and pain types. To help users better understand the correlation of these factors and what solutions/therapies could work best, the application creates a health report that can be shared with physicians.
Community Clash
Community Clash Online Card Game
Community Clash is an online card game that engages you in a discovery of your community’s health and well-being status, and lets you see how it compares to other communities in a head-to-head clash. Play endless hands, exploring different metrics and locations each time, and share key victories with your friends.
To begin playing Community Clash, a player selects two locations to compare in a head-to-head contest. Four random cards are dealt per location, each with a data point representing community indicators like obesity, smoking, diabetes and homicides, plus a fifth card with the WBI score, for each location.
A player can exchange up to two of the assigned cards before play begins by reviewing a list of metrics and deciding which ones might improve their odds of winning in the clash. They also have the option of generating their own well-being score to use instead of their location’s WBI score by completing a scientifically validated assessment.
Users can personalize the experience by getting their own well-being score based off of the six dimensions of the Well-Being Index. Users can then use their well-being score in future clashes.
Community Clash also includes a social media component via Twitter. After playing a hand, users can see a visualization of key words related to community health that have been tweeted over the past 30 days . The visualization also includes real-time tweet of the same nature.
