Home Care App

ELDAC Home Care App

Over the past year, the Technology and Innovation team at Flinders University have worked together with the Home Care sector to design and build our new Home Care App.

The Home Care App has been designed to help home care workers to provide end of life and palliative care to their clients, whilst supporting their families and carers as their care needs change over time.

Co-designed and tested with help from the home care workers and managers, the Home Care App has just been reviewed and released into the Google and Apple App Stores for free download.

What’s in the app?

The Home Care App has six sections, each providing evidence-based information and practical tips on how to confidently care for you client as their health declines and their care needs change.

Sections include:

Plans for end of life
What should I say
As things change
When someone is dying
Supporting families and carers with their grief
Looking after yourself

Other features include a customisable learning plan, interactive self-care activity scheduler, and lots of resources you can show and share with your clients, their families, and carers.

Tell us about your experience using the ELDAC Home Care App

The ELDAC Project team are undertaking an evaluation study exploring the experiences of home careworkers and home careworker managers who have downloaded and used the app to support their practice.

If that is you, we would love to hear what you think.

We would like to invite you to complete our online survey asking about your thoughts on the ELDAC Home Care App and how you have used the app as part of your everyday care.

Complete the survey

The survey should take you 15 minutes and when you have completed the survey, you may like to register your interest to participate in an interview to discuss your feedback with one of our researchers. The interview will take 30 minutes and you will be provided with a $25 gift card in appreciation of your time. Your participation in both activities is voluntary.

This research study has been approved by Flinders University's Human Research Ethics Committee [2907].
