Location data

The Parkview Health Mobile App uses location information for our analytics purposes, and to offer users features like the Home to Venue wayfinding service. This service allows the user to select their desired location within the hospital on a map, a check-in desk for example. The Parkview Health Mobile App uses a combination of outdoor navigation (Google Maps) and indoor navigation (our app), to provide driving directions to the hospital, and walking directions once onsite to prompt you to your requested destination. The transition from Google Maps navigation to our indoor navigation happens because the user crosses a geofence placed around the hospital. The Parkview Health Mobile App requests background location data to provide outdoor navigation services and foreground location data to provide indoor navigation for the Home to Venue service and our analytics purposes.
