Taipei, June 16 (CNA) A new mobile app has been released by Taiwan’s National
Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) that can help citizens manage their personal health care history more easily.
The app, which is not yet accessible by foreign nationals even if they are covered by national health insurance, gives users a complete record of their health care usage over the previous three years.
They can check their most visited hospitals, their medical history, and the diseases with which they have been diagnosed, including a ranking of the top five, according to the NHIA.
The information could be especially helpful to people who get care at different hospitals, providing records the patient can show their doctor that might help with their treatment, the NHIA said. [FULL STORY]
