Wisconsin/Upper Peninsula Michigan Development and Comparative Analysis of ApolloHealth: A Mobile Application to Search for Free and Low-Cost Healthcare Clinics

JSHS · 2025

Overview

Free and low -cost healthcare clinics are crucial for providing equitable healthcare to approximately 27 million uninsured individuals in the U.S. and those who cannot afford medical bills. Uninsured patients usually delay seeking primary care, leading to worsened health outcomes and increased strain on emergency health services. To alleviate this, government and non -profit agencies offer lists of free and low -cost clinics and websites to search for them, but these platforms often lack functionality and efficiency. Additionally, no centralized mobile application provides clinic information across all states. This project aimed to develop a free mobile application, ApolloHealth, to address these challenges. The hypothesis stated that ApolloHealth, with its nationwide free and low -cost clinic database, improved search efficiency, and enhanced usability, would outperform existing online search platforms. ApolloHealth was initially developed for the iOS platform, with cli nic databases sourced from publicly available, authentic federal and state sources. This data was consolidated using Python, incorporating geolocation, website links, phone numbers, and service type tags for further organization. The app features a location-based, nationwide clinic search with service type selection, direct calling from within the app, Google Maps integration, and offline accessibility. A comparative analysis with three existing clinic search resources showed that ApolloHealth, with comprehensive search features and an average search time of 25 seconds, outperformed them in both functionality and search efficiency. The analysis proved that ApolloHealth demonstrates strong potential to improve access to affordable healthcare, reduce health in equity for uninsured populations across the U.S., and alleviate the burden on emergency health services.
