The budding community-focused health support network, HealthUnlocked, is now available on a global scale through the development of the HealthUnlocked app. The app acts as an informative [support-based community forum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peer-support-app) that focuses on health and wellness. With more than 700,000 users, the app offers over 700 different [online support groups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myhealthteam) for members to browse through, or join. Users are welcome to join multiple communities and are encouraged to post, share and connect with other members, both privately and publicly.

The app fosters a sense of community, making the topic of health more approachable and accessible to all. From [people living with anxiety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-health) to people to people who are undergoing cancer treatments, this app allows individuals to ask questions, get answers and feel connected with like-minded people.
