Engage is available in both iOS and android versions and supports both tablet and smartphone form factors. The mobile app empowers patients to take a more active role in their healthcare decisions, provides easy access to personal health information and gives a new way to securely communicate with their care providers on their own schedule. They can also eliminate the frustration of wait time while visiting their provider by playing games, checking their e-mail, reading healthcare articles or watching videos. Engage puts all of these capabilities and entertaining activities right at their fingertips for easy access whenever they choose.

"We are very pleased with the Engage product, the responsiveness of the Anthelio team, and the overall quality of service they have provided to us," Maggie Ratliff, Vice President IS Division/CIO, Sarah Bush Lincoln, said.
