Using the Mobile Application ClickHealth to Provide Accessible Healthcare to the Homeless

This Android application, ClickHealth, helps the homeless locate the nearest health care facilities to help treat their health needs. There were two stages to developing the app: researching/planning and developing. Our app has numerous features including a Google Maps view, markers which show the closest hospitals and drug stores, info pages about hospitals, and a favorites tab. ClickHealth provides all important information about each hospital in a convenient fashion, and without using too much data. ClickHealth will help reduce the number of homeless who are in need of health care because of the way it guides users to facilities that accept walk-in patients and allow appointments to be made over the phone.
