GoAnnual Mobile App
Overview
Empowering Wellness with the Go Annual Mobile App
Helium Services collaborated with Emory University and Georgia Go Annual to develop the Go Annual mobile app. This user-friendly app aims to encourage seniors aged 65 and over to schedule their annual wellness visits (AWVs) and adopt healthy lifestyle habits. The app serves as a comprehensive resource, providing appointment reminders, access to valuable health information, and engaging social activities and discounts.
The Challenge
Empowering Early Disease Detection
Regular preventive healthcare is crucial for maintaining senior health and well-being. However, many seniors struggle to remember to schedule AWVs, potentially missing early disease detection and preventive care opportunities. Additionally, seniors often lack centralized access to relevant health information, social activities, and discounts.

- Appointment Reminders: Users can set personalized reminders for their annual wellness visits, ensuring they schedule this crucial appointment on time.
