Background

AIDH, with the Centre for the Digital Transformation of Health (CDTH) University of Melbourne, is investigating options to remunerate primary healthcare professionals who support and monitor consumers who use preventative health apps.

In Phase One of the project, we completed a desktop review and environmental scan, and presented our findings in a report and at a webinar in December.

In Phase Two of the project, we completed a survey and stakeholder engagement to understand preferences, priorities, practical constraints, and safeguards that matter most when developing new funding models and presented our findings in a report and at a webinar in March.

Information Sheets

Based on our Phase 1 and Phase 2 findings, we have developed Information sheets for Consumers and for Health Professionals to inform them and provide guidance and resources related to preventative health apps, what they are, and how to choose them.

Access the information sheets here.

Mini Course

In addition to the Information sheets for Health Professionals, we have developed a web-based mini-course for health professionals. This course is free for all on the AIDH CPD platform. The course is an interactive version of the information sheets, with videos from professionals to provide additional context and content.

Access the mini-course through the AIDH CPD platform here.
