ahCT Mobile was launched early in 2014, led by Peter Nichol, Director/Head of IT, Access Health CT, with the vision of applying digital technologies to achieve two major goals – produce market leading consumer services for Access Health CT, and provide a SaaS platform that can provide similar services to other States within rapid time frames, with low implementation risk and at affordable cost. In order to achieve these goals, Access Health CT formed a dedicated cross-functional team for the initiative and hired Amtex Systems as a vendor with experience in digital software product development utilizing Mobile and Cloud technologies to produce a state of the art platform. 

 

Access Health CT is one of the leading State Based Health Insurance Exchanges (HIX) nationally, providing a highly successful implementation since State Based HIX went live on October 01, 2013.

 

ahCT Mobile is a visionary platform that pioneers the application of digital technologies to HIX, providing a rich Digital API that powers a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for HIX. It digitizes the business model for HIX to provide a mobile platform and digital services to State Based Health Insurance Exchanges, Private Health Insurance Exchanges, State Health and Human Services organizations and Insurance Carriers.

 

The Best API awards focus on APIs that are fast becoming the scaffolding of the app world. Your entry will be an outstanding API that provides new potential for an App Design. It will provide a better, faster or easier way to integrate and expand functionality. Basically it is the bomb, it knocks the others out of the park. In short – the best in its league.

 

2014 US Mobile & App Design Awards mission is to celebrate the courage of those who commission design and those who create it. design100 provides a collaborative platform of award programs, supported by the world’s most creative minds and organizations, to accelerate the transformation to a design-led marketplace. One that understands that tomorrow is the result of yesterday’s courage. design100 is a platform of award programs focused on promoting the value of design in local markets across three continents. Our unique difference is to recognize and celebrate the courage of both those who commission design and those who create it. One provides the oxygen for design to exist, the other breathes life into the body of work that eventuates. Our aim has always been to develop the conversation between the two. Professional development of practitioners has been well catered for by industry bodies. Our focus is to accelerate the development of those who commission design.
