About DHA Library

The Military Health System is one of America’s largest and most complex health care systems in the world. But the MHS is more than an institution. It is a community made up of patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, logistics specialists, administrators, programmers, data security experts and countless others. The people that make up the MHS are a cross-section of experts who are committed to providing high-quality care for beneficiaries.

Each team member uses their specialized skills to help save lives on the battlefield, combat infectious disease, and provide health services to approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries, composed of uniformed service members, military retirees and family members.

The DHA App Library is intended to provide MHS patients, health care providers, and staff some information about mobile apps developed specifically for their needs and use. All apps are available to download for free. This portfolio also provides guidelines for requesting new apps and tools for developing Defense Health Agency-compliant apps.
