Managing chronic health conditions like chronic pain and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) can be challenging, especially when support is limited. Our team has developed a mobile app called HELP (Health Education and Learning Platform) to support people in managing their health. Originally designed for transplant patients, HELP offers features like medication reminders, symptom tracking, educational resources, and communication tools to help users stay on top of their care. In this project, we will customize HELP for people living with chronic pain and FASD, working closely with healthcare providers and community organizations in Saskatchewan. We will test how easy and helpful the app is for patients and care teams in real-world settings. Our goal is to create a flexible, user-friendly tool that improves health and well-being by supporting self-management. If successful, this app could be expanded to help people with other health conditions across the province and beyond.
