When the app loads, it displays a blog screen that lists blogs we have available. Our medical staff write the blogs and they are hosted on our website. Clicking a blog displays the blog in detail. 3. Menu at the bottom allows access to a "videos" screen that works much like the blog screen. These videos are hosted on our site. 4. To enter the secure portion of the site, the menu at the bottom has "your account" button 5. User must login as this is hipaa compliant. 6. Videos and blogs can be shared on twitter or facebook so there are screens for authorizing access to those accounts. 7. Main menu has 3 options. a.

Clicking one will display the question "thread" with the answer and any previous exchanges on this question. 10.

For the data interface, services will be written on the server (by eDocAmerica) and the app can call these services to interact with our database. 2. Login: user must log in to access the "your account" portion of the app as it contains personal information. Login will return some information that is needed in the app such as the phone number to call for voice, a phone number for nurse call, and any other account level information that is needed. Also the number of new inbox messages. 3. Ask: calls a service to post a question to our database for our staff to answer. 4.
