Problem
Older adults migrate to Arizona to get away from
colder climates. In doing so they may leave behind:
•
•
•
•
Medical records
Familiar doctors
Vital documents
Comfort of local healthcare
SNAP Health was built to address the issue of lack of web-based health
resources for travelling older adults, our team has developed a web
application that seeks to:
Create a single place to make quick medical decisions and get access to health
information in a SNAP.

Background Research
• There is currently no site for winter travelers to access local health
information.
• Current techniques for gathering information include
– Calling home health agencies
– Using the phone book
– Getting friend referrals
• An article from the American Medical Association describes the way
doctors have to get emergency information through Fax!
•
•
•
Information only available during working hours
Patients carry info in wallet on crumpled piece of paper
No quick way to access basic information
