Abstract

In some implementations, a user interface for designing a health management module is provided by a server system. The user interface identifies a plurality of health management templates. The server system initially receives data indicating a user input received through the user interface that selects one of the plurality of module templates. The server system also receives customization parameters that customize the selected module template for a particular organization. The server system then generates a customized health management module for the particular organization based on the selected template and the customization parameters. The server system finally publishes the customized health management module for the particular organization that includes instructions configuring an application provided by a third-party application store.
