McNeil Consumer Healthcare Introduces App
McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. launches HEALTHYDAY, an app designed to take the guess work out of managing cold, flu and allergy symptoms. The latest innovation in its mobile healthcare offering, HEALTHYDAY was launched at New York City's Internet Week as part of McNeil's ongoing commitment to help consumers more simply identify and manage certain health symptoms.
HEALTHYDAY helps consumers by gathering data from the same trusted sources used by doctors and hospitals. Using a patent-pending algorithm, HEALTHYDAY cross-references this information with localized, crowd-sourced data to determine what people in your neighborhood might be feeling – whether it's an outbreak of flu or seasonal allergies.
"HEALTHYDAY is a great example of our commitment as a company to go beyond the pill to provide support and relief to the consumers we have the privilege to serve," says Denice Torres, president of McNeil Consumer Healthcare. "Our goal is to truly make a difference in peoples' lives – by helping them feel better and to get back to their daily activities. HEALTHYDAY puts health information in the consumer's hands to help them more easily manage seasonal symptoms."
