Problem

Older adults migrate to Arizona to get away from colder climates. In doing so they may leave behind:• Medical records• Familiar doctors• Vital documents• Comfort of local healthcare

SNAP Health was built to address the issue of lack of web-based health resources for travelling older adults, our team has developed a web application that seeks to:

Create a single place to make quick medical decisions and get access to health information in a SNAP.
