Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said the app will 'make it easier for everyone to navigate the health service'

The Department of Health and the HSE have launched the first version of the HSE Health App.

From today anyone aged 16 and over can download the app for free from Google Play or the App Store, however first phase functionality will be most useful for expectant mothers.

It will allow users to do a range of activities including carrying a digital list of self-declared medications, storing their medical cards (Drugs Payment Scheme card, GP Visit card, etc) and accessing flu and Covid-19 vaccination records.

Expectant mothers can also view maternity service appointments.

Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD, said, "This App is an exciting milestone where we begin to give patients digital access to their own health information and will make it easier for everyone to navigate the health service.

"The HSE is working with colleagues across government to integrate the HSE Health App with the Government Digital Wallet that will be released later this year."

Bernard Gloster, HSE CEO, said: "The launch of the first version of the new HSE Health App represents the next step forward in our digital transformation journey, as we seek to harness the power of data and innovation to help improve access to care for patients and enhance efficiencies across services. Through utilisation and ongoing development of digital tools, such as the new HSE Health App, we see a future where our patients and the people who care for them are empowered and better informed about their care.

"I will continue to ensure that we prioritise providing increased access for patients to their data and to interact with our health services to improve their experiences."

Damien McCallion, HSE Chief Technology and Transformation Officer said: "This is just the beginning - the app is an evolving programme of work, with new services and features planned each year, including expanding the appointment functionality for all public hospital appointments. This is a challenging undertaking but a key priority to deliver for everyone under our care."

Having one central location to be able to log in and view all of your appointments, meds,
test results is a great thing! We have it here in Florida.

If I see a new doctor that is in the same network, they already have my important info
without me having to bring my list of meds to them. They already know your medical
history, meds you are allergic to, etc. Technology is a great thing.

Oops! Like any app, there will be an update. Complain, complain, complain until a fix is
made.
