Bill > A08230

This bill authorizes the New York Department of Health to create and operate a member-based mobile application for prenatal, pregnant, and postpartum individuals who are eligible for Medicaid. The department can contract with a mobile developer to create and operate the application statewide, which must include features like delivering educational resources, linking to state programs and services, and allowing direct interface between the department, state agencies, and users. The selected developer must regularly provide the department and legislative leaders with aggregate, anonymized data on user engagement and usage. The mobile application must be available on multiple platforms and the developer cannot share or sell users' personal information except as necessary for the app's operation.
