LiverMatters-a hepatitis guide [iPhone]

Designed with easy to understand text, this app is simple to navigate and user friendly. This is not a diagnostic tool and it does not replace medical advice; it’s an awesome app that increases your understanding about what damages the liver and why it’s important to look after this unique organ. Through the use of this app, you can boost your understanding of viral and non-viral hepatitis and contribute to increased health literacy in the region. Language is often a major barrier in accessing services or health information; however, the developers recognise this factor and have worked to make this a one-stop app for all, by providing multiple language support.

The app has a variety of interactive tools, which will guide you in accessing instant information about liver health and viral hepatitis, along with hyperlinks to hepatitis testing centres in the Canberra region. Prevention is always the goal, and this app specialises in connecting individuals to services in the ACT, like the primary and secondary needle exchange outlets, thereby providing instant information about the location to these services.

Other key features of this app include:
• Hyperlinks to all Hepatitis ACT social media links, which helps you to stay up-to-date with advancements in hepatitis medication, treatments, events and services available.
• Cool freebies- Want to get your hands on some outstanding resources. This feature links the user to email us directly without having to go through the pain of typing in the support email address. Hepatitis ACT has the availability of hepatitis information in an array of languages, which can be posted out upon request. Information in simplified, easy to understand text, along with some promotional educational materials will be posted out to you as a token of our appreciation for joining us in the journey towards better knowledge and awareness about liver care.
• The icing on the cake is the app’s ability to keep track of your medication. You can store the name of the medication and set reminders, which will prompt you to take your medication at the right intervals. This will help ensure consistent self-administration of hepatitis medication, which is instrumental in better hepatitis B and hepatitis C treatment outcomes.

Install this one of a kind app, and help us join you in your journey towards a healthy liver and wellbeing.
