Overview

Problem

Access to affordable healthcare is a significant issue in Hawaii. Uninsured or underinsured individuals often struggle to find information about healthcare services that they can afford, leading to delayed or no care.

Solution

A web application designed to guide uninsured and underinsured individuals in Hawaii to various healthcare options. It aggregates and simplifies information about various healthcare services, providing an easy-to-navigate platform that points users to the most relevant and cost-effective healthcare solutions.

Approach

The web application will operate without storing personal user data, ensuring privacy and compliance with regulations. The application will feature:

• User Profiles: Users can indicate their insurance status (insured, uninsured, or underinsured) and their healthcare needs.
• Directory: A comprehensive listing of healthcare facilities, services offered, and costs, filterable by various criteria.

Mockup Page Ideas

• Landing Page: Welcomes users and guides them to indicate their insurance status and healthcare needs.
• Directory: Lists healthcare services, allowing filtering by location, cost, services, and insurance accepted.

Use Case Ideas

An uninsured individual uses the web application to find a nearby clinic offering affordable services for their condition.

Beyond the Basics

• Interactive Map Shows user healthcare options based on the user’s location.
