Bringing the Community to Health Safety
Every day we spend much of our time in our homes with our family, but we also spend considerable time at work or at school and to a lesser extent with friends.
Together these four groups constitute the most significant portion of one's community and hence one's exposure risk. Ensuring one's health safety means ensuring the health safety of everyone in the community. Hence, Hubbub is introducing the ability to add all members of your community to provide a comprehensive and convenient Community Risk solution.
Add your family members and invite in your coworkers, classmates and friends, to My Bub!
