When we fail to appreciate patients' strengths, we may underestimate the impact of these strengths upon health and health-related outcomes. Be- cause our methods of assessment frequently do not cap- ture the holistic overview of a patient's health status, our perspective of population-based care processes also suf- fers. A new mobile application (app) seeks to change the way patient-generated health data are collected and aggre- gated by combining individual and population-based health perspectives in an actionable platform for clinicians. MyStrengths MyHealth (MSMH) is a whole-person, strengths-based, consumer-facing mobile enhanced ap- plication designed for individuals, families, and commu- nities to self-report whole-person health as strengths, challenges, and needs. MyStrengths MyHealth was devel- oped by Drs Robin Austin and Karen Monsen at the Uni- versity of Minnesota School of Nursing, with the support of several foundation and federal grants, including a Na- tional Institutes of Health Clinical and Translational Sci- ence Award at the University of Minnesota. MyStrengths MyHealth fills a gap in app-driven collection of health data to and from consumers. By improving our understand- ing of personal-and population-level strengths and challenges
