Healthify collects more than just patients' health history.

Is a person’s ability to pay their monthly energy bills or afford groceries getting in the way of their access to health care?
Healthify, a startup out of Johns Hopkins University, thinks so.
Launched in November, the startup makes questionnaire software for health clinics to gather such information from the primarily low-income people they serve, reports the Baltimore Sun:

Healthify proposes that giving health care providers a richer picture of a patient’s health risks and connecting the patient with the resources to address those gaps could help — particularly when the number of low-income Americans with access to health care jumps in 2014, under federal health reform.

Healthify plans to offer the questionnaire software for free, but “charge for a service that will let clinics store the information and use it to connect patients with resources such as food banks, utility reconnection services or government programs,” according to the Sun.
Two of the four people behind Healthify are still Hopkins students.
