The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has launched a mobile app, myHealthButton and online portal, myHealthPortal for its Medicaid population.

The portal and mobile app connect patients with their medical information, including digital images of their mihealth cards, provider search capabilities and authorized diagnoses and provider listings for Children's Special Health Care Service beneficiaries.

The core objective is equipping Medicaid members with the resources they need to better manage their health. Also, the tools will help providers more efficiently gather and organize data to delivery higher quality care, according to the health agency.

"As we work with our residents to promote better self-awareness and responsibility for their health status, these tools allow users to easily access and track important health measures right on their smartphones,” said Nick Lyon, director of the MDCH, in a statement.

Both applications are available through the App Store and Google Play.
