Psychological therapy is a helpful intervention to support the pain journey. However, there is a long waiting list to see a pain specialist and no “try this in the meantime” option. This is where OMED kicks in - a project funded by QLD Metro South.

OMED is born to produce a psychological Brief Intervention (BI) in the form of a Progressive Web Application (app) running on Java or .Net (to be advised). 

• Web App Operational across devices including mobile phone, desk/laptop computer, tablet. 

• UX note: health providers more likely to access app by computer while patients more likely to access by mobile phone devices 

As an admin using admin portal, you can:

• Customise the appearance of the patient portal and health professional portal with branding including logo and colour pallet.

• Back end view to see patient profiles as they see it.

• Database summary of specific information (e.g. questionnaire scores, metrics of App use [time on activity, percentage completed etc].

• Optional: admin capacity to update and add to a) registration requirements and b) core outcome measure questions/items collected. 

On patient portal, there are the following functionalities:

• Deliver intervention content customised to the individual patient (automate fields to their registration details; name, image, HP preferences/details, outcome scores). 

• Provide permission for HP access to their account

  • function to review and provide feedback on specific sections. 

  • Potential for dual access to account – HP and patient can be looking at it together and using chat box to communicate. 

  • Provide external copy/download key resources to HP: email sections and download PDF. 

• Optional third portal: custom HP portal to support delivery of BI. 

  • HP can directly view the profiles of patients who have consented to their support. Potential to edit/add comments in specified sections. 

  • Capacity for HP to send push notifications to patients and with consent, to export results for client records.
