Announcement of Requirements and Registration for the United States Surgeon General's Healthy Apps Challenge
Health and Human Services Department
What is this?
This is a regulatory record from Health and Human Services Department — a rule, proposed rule, or notice. Regulations carry the force of law once final, and often invite public comment before that point.
Why does it matter?
Regulations are usually what actually binds you, more than statutes are. This is where an agency states the requirement, the effective date, and whether there is still a window to respond.

Description
The U.S. Surgeon General's Healthy Apps Challenge will encourage the development and submission of technology applications that will complement and enhance two key aspects of the Surgeon General's prevention agenda: The Surgeon General's Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation (http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/obesityvision/ obesityvision2010.pdf) and the nation's first National Prevention Strategy (http://www.healthcare.gov/prevention/nphpphc/strategy/ report.pdf). Specifically, the challenge will highlight the ability of innovative new technologies to: (1) Provide health information tailored to the needs of the user; and (2) empower users (the general public) to regularly engage in and enjoy health promoting behaviors related to fitness and physical activity, nutrition and healthy eating, and/or physical, mental and emotional well-being. This challenge is being conducted in collaboration with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
