Why has UpBeat been created?
HeartKids is delivering some key activities identified in the National Strategic Action Plan for Childhood Heart Disease (Action Plan).
One of the focus areas of the Action Plan is supporting young people with CHD. The aim is to help young people stay engaged with their health care as they transition from paediatric to adult care.
UpBeat is one of the projects helping us to do this.
How has UpBeat been created?
HeartKids has partnered with an app development agency and a Young Persons' Digital Advisory Group created for this project to help guide the app through an exciting co-design process.
Advisory group members consist of young people with CHD from around the country, as well a multidisciplinary group of clinicians from five major hospitals.
