Secretaria Regional da Saúde e Segurança Social
The mySaúde Açores app, presented on Tuesday by the Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, is already the third most downloaded app in the "Health and Fitness" category in Portugal via the Apple Store.
"In less than 48 hours, we are already nearing two thousand registrations, we are close to 1,800 registered users. We have more than six thousand hits, demonstrating people's interest in this tool," stressed Mónica Seidi.
She continued: "These figures bring us great satisfaction. Registration is always possible via the mysaude.azores.gov address, both on a computer and on a mobile phone, so the fact that we are still waiting for the Play Store to update does not prevent anyone from registering."
The project includes a mobile phone application and a portal accessible to all users. It falls within the Digital Hospital project, an initiative funded under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).
In this first phase, mySaúde Açores is aimed at Primary Health Care and allows easy access to user data at any time and place. Users can request and book consultations and also have the possibility of teleconsultations, avoiding unnecessary trips to health centres.
