CaresearchGP
Flinders University
The Challenge
Pressures on services and demand for palliative care has increased due to ageing and increasing rates of chronic diseases. General Practitioners (GPs) play a pivotal role in managing palliative care and they needed to enhance their palliative care knowledge and skills to support them in delivering better care to patients.
The challenge was to create a mobile app that supports GPs in administering care for patients requiring a palliative approach, addressing the gap between patient preferences and actual end-of-life care locations.

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.
