ELDAC Home Care App
Flinders University
The Challenge
Access to free evidence-informed information for palliative care is limited and lacking the support on person-centred decision-making and the transition to palliative care. Health professionals, families and general community are struggling to access palliative care information from trusted sources.
The challenge was to create a mobile app that address the gaps in palliative care practices among home care workers for aging Australians involves providing targeted training, evidence-based resources, and fostering collaboration to enhance caregivers' skills and knowledge, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate end-of-life care at home.

How did Kiratech empower the Innovator & Researcher?
Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying (RePaDD) within Flinders University wants to make a difference to care at the end of life.
Flinders University engaged with us on Production service to develop CareSearchGP in response to Australia's evolving death demographics, where most people succumb to chronic conditions and express a preference for dying at home. Despite this, a small fraction achieves it. Given that most deaths can be anticipated, our solution will facilitate proactive planning and care delivery with GPs.
