HealthMpowerment

Welcome to HealthMpowerment

HealthMpowerment (HMP) is a theory-based, status-neutral intervention designed to provide health and wellness information and resources relevant to young people via a mobile optimized platform.

HMP covers a range of health and lifestyle topics to support users’ diverse backgrounds and varying needs over time.

“The app helped with understanding [my] religion and taboo topics such as abortion rights. Sexuality cannot be changed and even though the app focuses on sexual health it provides other topics such as housing, loans, and covid isolation topics.”

“I really like the whole concept of the app, and if I was a person who didn’t have my care situated, I would say that the care locator feature would be very useful in assisting people in finding medical care. I really like the at home test kit, especially over the pandemic that made it like really easy because where I was getting tested, it shut down for a little bit. So that was really useful to me and getting those test kits.”

“…That’s what I enjoy most [inbox feature], cause they were able to get back to you as fast as possible and stuff like that if I had any questions or didn’t understand something. And also people in the forum, if they went through an experience, you know, I enjoyed that part too. I don’t think there was anything that could have been better. I enjoyed everything about it.”

“Thank you HMP for providing me with options and tools to educate myself, get rewarded for surveys, and giving me a sense of belonging through your platform.”

(In reference to OraQuick HIV testing) “I actually did appreciate the fact that I was able to do it in the comfort of my home first because when I went to get tested again at a clinic, my status was confirmed. The in-home HIV test made it that much easier to accept the result at the clinic because I technically already went through the range of emotions at home first.”

“Thanks for all that yall do, this app is definitely a shoulder when u need it. Keep it up”

About HMP

HMP strives to be a state-of-the-art Digital Health Intervention platform. We are building a feature-rich platform that incorporates the latest behavior change research and the latest advances in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

A dedicated group of technologists and researchers work together daily to improve the platform and keep content up-to-date, fresh, and relevant. Leveraging a holistic view to health, HMP content covers topics ranging from traditional physical health such as HIV and STI prevention and treatment, depression, and nutrition, to social and environmental factors influencing health like housing, discrimination, faith, and spirituality.

HMP was created by Lisa Hightow-Weidman, MD, MPH, a public health scientist with extensive expertise in mHealth interventions.
