Apps may target patients with high disease burden in need of early intervention, and may aggregate multiple sources of data to help public health officials and organizations develop more clearly defined pictures of the health status and risk factors within communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-details\"><strong>Additional Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re delighted to see innovative solutions and applications being submitted, and look forward to more.
