PEOPLE in East Lancashire can now get easy access to the best-rated health apps available online.

A new and improved version of the ORCHA online platform has recently launched to help the thousands of people in the area who use apps every day to help manage health issues and medical conditions as well as to generally improve their health and wellbeing.

The introduction of ORCHA is part of a drive in the area to find new ways of helping people to care for their own health and wellbeing for as long as they possibly can.

ORCHA – which stands for Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps – links to a range of health apps that have received fully impartial reviews by doctors and other clinical experts, with scoring criteria added to the reviews to help people make informed decisions about managing health issues and medical conditions.
