Have you ever had trouble finding health and social services in your community that meet your needs? The People, Health Equity and Innovation (PHI) Group at the University Health Network is developing a web-based tool to help seniors, their family caregivers, and health professionals find health and social services in their communities. To gather design requirements for this tool, they are interested in interviewing people to explore their experiences searching for health and social services, and their perspectives on tools that could help. The interview will be 1-hour in length and could take place by telephone or at a location of your convenience.
They are seeking: Patients over the age of 65, living with one or more chronic conditions, and use the Internet; and family members, who are involved in the care of a loved one over the age of 65 and living with one or more chronic conditions, and use the internet.
If you would like to participate in this study or would like more information please contact Dr. Jackie Bender by email at jackie.bender@utoronto.ca or phone (416)581-8606.
