ACHESS 2.0 won second place!!!

the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) launched the Super-Utilizer Health Innovation Challenge,calling on digital entrepreneurs and developers to design health technology specifically to improve care and outcomes for high-need, high-cost, low-income populations.  In response, 29 developers submitted innovative working software applications that address one or more of the issues faced by super-utilizers. The entries ranged from wearable technology to patient-facing mobile apps and provider-oriented web-based solutions.

There have been a lot of updates since this version was entered but its a great start for what we’re were doing and hopefully more people will become aware of our application especially as we work to improve it!

The Chess Intern Blog!

The creation of the Chess intern blog is in hopes of showing people what were about and the amazing projects we’ll be working on. Chess Mobile Health designs and develops mobile and web based applications that are derived from robust and fully randomized clinical trials. We hold our alliance with the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Health Enhancement System Studies to back up our unique and helpful designs for individuals struggling with medical problems relating to mental health concerns like addiction. There are other projects in the works and redesigns and rebranding that are in the works and our interns get to be at the forefront of this experience. 

Coming soon we’ll be posting our companies team pictures and tell a little bit about our Chess family.

Our interns have been working on new features of the current application as well as the start of other projects and updating the main Chess website.

All to post soon! Keep an eye out for our next updates!
