## What is Student Health App?

"Reliable, relevant health advice for young adults who want to look after themselves and use medical services wisely" (Dr Dominique Thompson, Director, Students' Health Service, University of Bristol).

Struggling with your physical or mental health at uni? Not sure what to do next? Too embarrassed to seek help? The Student Health App (previously known as 'ESC Student') allows you to say goodbye to frustrating, confusing and sometimes dangerous online searches for health information. What's more, the app works offline (apart from the hyperlinks), so you can use the app on-the-go without the need for an internet connection.

How does the app help? Open the app and easily access over 900 pages packed with reliable health information - anywhere, anytime, and in private:

•	Troubling health problems – check out what to do next and when to see a pharmacist, nurse or doctor
•	Emergencies and general ill health – discover the truth about life-threatening illnesses as well as sleep problems, feeling stressed, and being tired all the time
•	Common ailments – get to the bottom of headaches, find out how to treat your spots, and manage common aches and pains
•	Mental health – find out what to do when you (or one of your friends) feel low or anxious, self-harm or are worried about drinking too much alcohol
•	Useful links – get fast access to hundreds of links to useful further information

Which topics does the app cover? The Student Health App offers plain-talking reassurance, info and advice on over 125 topics relevant to students in areas such as...

> first aid & emergencies
> common ailments
> mental health problems
> physical (body) symptoms
> love and sex
> healthy living
> travel health
> alcohol & drugs
> long-term health problems
> staying safe at uni
> accessing health services…

...and more.  

Is the app safe? In partnership with the University of Bristol Students' Health Service, the app has been co-created by medical doctors and students and is certified by the Patient Information Forum 'PIF Tick' (the UK's only national quality mark for health information) as a source of clear, reliable and relevant health information. 

Can universities have their own version? We can customise the app for universities - visit www.expertselfcare.com for details.

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2021-10-05, version 2.0.3*

The app crashes too frequently and can be a hassle to use.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-07-01, version 1.9.1*

Very helpful, I use almost every day. Knowing the symptoms of problems can really help.
Definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app not just for students

*2016-08-18, version 1.0*

Really good app which gives clear, concise and authoritative advice. Useful for everyone not just for students.

The app itself is really easy to navigate with a straightforward menu and icon system which is very responsive. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Informative and easy to use!

*2016-07-04, version 1.0*

The app is presented nicely and very easy to navigate. Good quality information that is easy and quick to read through 👍

### 5/5 — Recommended!

*2016-07-03, version 1.0*

I really like this app. The information is clear and up to date, and is written by medical professionals so is therefore accurate. It focuses on self-care and how you can help yourself, but also notes the symptoms that mean you should seek further help. It also covers both physical and mental health, which is unusual in an app. 
It is also nicely laid out, and I like that further resources are provided if you want more information.
This app would not just be useful for students; it would likely be useful for any adolescent or young adult.

### 5/5 — Very useful app - trustworthy information

*2016-06-28, version 1.0*

This app is designed with students in mind but it contains information that is useful even when you have left university. It gives detailed information (written by a GP so you can trust it) about health conditions we are all likely to experience from time to time, from coughs and colds to stomach problems and skin complaints, as well as advice on staying fit and healthy.  The app explains the symptoms, suggests how you can self care or self treat and tells you the warning signs which mean you need to speak to a healthcare professional. I recommend it!
