Do you take regular medications or manage multiple health conditions? Your experience matters — help us design better tools for safer medicine use.

What’s the study about?

We’re developing a new model to help people manage their medicines more safely and effectively. This includes a mobile app and support strategies designed with input from real users like you.

What’s involved?

You’ll be invited to join a 3-hour workshop (online or in-person) where you will:

  • Share your experiences with medicine use
  • Help shape the design of a new health app
  • Identify what helps or hinders safe medicine use

In the weeks following, you will also complete a short follow up survey online.

Who can join?

We’re looking for patients who:

  • Live in Victoria, New South Wales, or Tasmania
  • Take regular medications or manage chronic conditions
  • Are comfortable communicating in English

Participant appreciation

You’ll receive a generous gift card for participating in the research, redeemable at a range of popular everyday retailers.
