In June, 2015, It’s Time Texas and Dell’s Children Medical Center of Central Texas introduced an app for Central Texas businesses and organizations to promote their healthy activities.
The Choose Healthier Mobile App is a free app to connect Austin area (35.1% Latino) residents with local health-focused information, activities and events, such as yoga and gardening classes.

Additionally, this app could help Latino families because It’s Time Texas developed a tutorial in Spanish.
