Transforming Digital Health
We are designing a service that better connects people to the health information and services they need, when they need them. Our tools will help people care for themselves and relieve pressure on frontline services.
How are we doing this
Speak with our users
We’ve spoken to over 700 patients, carers and front-line staff. And continue to do so.
- 677
- Patients and carers interviewed
- 55
- Clinicians and front-line staff
Understand their needs
By understanding user needs we can identify problems and find solutions. This is the basis of everything we do.
Learn and improve
Our work starts small and evolves based on users’ feedback. We make things open. We continue to test and iterate. We share, learn and adapt.
