NEED
Wiser AD (Anti-Depressant) is a structured program to support people whose doctors have recommended that they can go off antidepressant medication. The project seeks to redress the widespread damaging health effects of the over-prescription of Anti-Depressants.
SOLUTION
In collaboration with University of Melbourne medical specialists, we have designed, developed and usability tested a web-application that:
assesses candidate suitability
calculates a medication taper-schedule based on candidate data
provides a structured program to support well-being, and to taper medication
tracks candidate well-being, and send alerts to nominated helpers if trigger-points are reached
provides data and management tools to authorised University of Melbourne staff.
WiserAD was custom-coded using the highly secure Django framework, and Python programming language.
