Healthplan Provider HSA Launches Unique Facebook Personal Planner
ANDOVER, England, April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- People will no longer have to worry about missing a dentist or optician appointment again, thanks to a new personal planner introduced today by Healthplan provider, HSA. To celebrate the launch of its new brand and icon 'the Sleeve', HSA has launched the first-ever health and lifestyle reminder service for users of the popular social networking website, Facebook called the 'HSA Personal Planner'. Facebook users can install the HSA Personal Planner onto their unique profile and also download it onto their computer desktop. Then, by inputting their health or lifestyle appointments e.g. an osteopath or gym appointment, the Sleeve character reminds the individual, helping to ensure they never miss these scheduled events again. It can also be used to provide daily health tips and 'Doctor, Doctor' jokes, as useful and fun reminders. Clare Lee, Head of Brand Development, comments: "We all have a health conscience that nags away at us - visit the dentist, go to the optician's and this tool can help take the worry out of remembering when all these appointments are coming up. Plus, with everyone leading such busy lives, unfortunately important appointments like these sometimes get forgotten, causing unnecessary strain on resources. We hope that the HSA Personal Planner can help to give employees the nudge they need to remember these dates, in a fun and light-hearted way." To install this application, Facebook users can either use the search engine on Facebook to find it or visit the Sleeve's group, Sleeviebook, and download from here.
