- Be highly relevant. Provide just the right type and amount of information — tailored to people's needs, in an easy-to-use format.
- Make info more accessible. Make it easy for people to navigate even larger amounts of information. Make use of mobile accessibility features.
- Offer information offline. Be more inclusive of people living in areas with poor signal and who can't afford data.
- Give discreet access to health information. Enable people to look up information in total privacy — apps don't create a search history.
