The recent launch of the new HSE Health App means patients in Mayo can now access their health information and navigate the health service with ease in digital form.
The app, launched by Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, is now available for download on Google Play and the App Store.
Minister of State Alan Dillon described the launch as “a game-changer in how people in Mayo will engage with their health information, offering a seamless and secure way to access key health services and personal records at their fingertips.”
Key features of the HSE Health App include digital versions of Medical, GP, Drug Payment Scheme, and European Health Insurance Cards as well as vaccination records for COVID-19 and flu.
Other key features include details of reimbursed medications and a safe place to store personal medication lists, information on HSE services, including Emergency Departments and Injury Units, health and wellbeing resources, including easy access to the HSE’s health guides and maternity service appointment access for expectant mothers.
Minister Dillon added: “The HSE Health App will continue improving, with ongoing updates in 2025. These will include access to public hospital and screening appointments for public patients, as well as new self-care tools for quitting smoking and managing chronic conditions.
‘We are committed to expanding its capabilities to give people better access, control, and convenience in managing their health. By embracing technology, we are making healthcare more accessible for everyone.”
The HSE Health App is free to download from the HSE website, Google Play, and the App Store by searching ‘HSE Health’. It is available in both Irish and English, with step-by-step guidance provided for easy setup.
