We have just over 5,000 HealthIQ participants now, and the target is 10,000 minimum, so I encourage everyone to participate. Your data is confidential and cannot be viewed by anyone at all. The App simply reports aggregate data and provides an excellent heat map of potential cases, showing which postal codes have more reports.”
