Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many times the MyHEALTH app has been downloaded.

Answer

MyHEALTH provides Service personnel details of their medical readiness; lets them know if they need a vaccination, hearing test, dental appointment or medical review; and provides them details of how to contact their medical and dental centre. While MyHEALTH cannot be downloaded, it is readily available to Service personnel via the Defence Gateway. To date, MyHEALTH has been visited 162,611 times since it went live in November 2021.

Also via the Defence Gateway, personnel can access MyHealthcareHub, which provides various information about Defence Primary Healthcare services and facilities. Between April 2020, when the Hub went live, and April 2022, the latest date for which data is available, the Hub was visited 613,116 times.
