Introducing the BBN OHT Health Navigator App
The Brantford Brant Norfolk Ontario Health Team (BBNOHT) launched their BBN OHT Health Navigator app October 2023, which was designed to help patients and caregivers in Brantford, Brant and Norfolk explore local and provincial health services more seamlessly access their personal health information in one convenient location! The app is free to use and available in both Apple and Google Play stores by searching “BBN OHT Health Navigator.”
The BBN OHT Health Navigator allows users to search for local and provincial health services by categories: Immediate crisis support, Primary Care, Hospitals/Urgent Care, Mental Health and Addictions, Housing and Outreach, Home and Community Resources, Older Adult Services, Caregiver Resources, Public Health and Provincial Resources. Users can further narrow their search by service type and link directly to provider websites for more information.
Additionally, by clicking “Free Health Advice” in the app, users are taken to the provincial resource Health811 (formerly Telehealth) where they can receive free health advice or information from a qualified profession 24/7!
Users can also access their personal health information on the app through tools like LifeLabs, SeamlessMD, and ConnectMyHealth, a new digital health solution that provides patients with an online, single access point to view their health records from participating hospitals in southwestern Ontario, including Brantford General Hospital and Norfolk General Hospital.
