Current digital healthcare for heart failure (HF) neglects the needs of an aging and increasingly diverse Canadian population.  Quynh will co-design and test a family-centered and culturally compassionate digital health module (i.e., Medly Caretown) within a standard of care HF digital therapeutic (i.e., Medly). By centering key stakeholder engagement (e.g., patient-caregiver dyads, community and clinical partners, and professional designers), Quynh will co-design, develop, and test the use of Caretown for digitally driven dyadic HF support.
