In this unprecedented time, the global community is facing a unique set of pressures to find balance and stillness in a turbulent environment and seeking new ways to communicate, work, and monitor our health and wellness.
Many ACT| The App Association members are working to address these issues arising from the COVID-19 outbreak. We have members working on the front lines to provide telehealth support and resources. Other members are offering their services and expertise to businesses that need to pivot to a digital presence, with many of these resources coming at no charge.
To that end, we created this new resource to catalogue the efforts of App Association members to address this changing global landscape and provide those members with information they need to continue serving their clients and consumers. Along with this resource, our App Association staff is developing a series of blog posts highlighting their personal approach to working, educating, and socializing from a virtual environment.
We will update this resource regularly and encourage you to share it widely. We are all in this together and the app ecosystem will continue to find innovative ways to serve the public.
