Designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the CDC eCards app allows users to send personalized health eCards directly from their iPhone or iPod touch to family, friends and loved ones on the go. With nearly half of iPhone users and 30 percent of iPod touch users making health-related inquiries from their device, this application provides a way for health seekers to share important health tips and reminders for checkups easily.

Based on CDC's successful eCards website, this application will feature popular eCards and timely health updates that coincide with important health events throughout the year. Health observances include the American Heart Month, Flu Season, and the Great American Smokeout. Users can also mark certain eCards as favorites for easier access.
