Day-by-Day

A PERSONALISED COACHING SERVICE FOR HEART ATTACK PATIENTS

After the blow of a heart attack, coming home from hospital can be a really difficult time. Even though these days most heart surgery is less intrusive than it used to be and patients in and out of hospital in a day or two, it often means patients have a huge gap before their first cardiac appointment and are alone at home, scared and facing major life changes.

That’s why the Day-by-Day service was designed. It’s a behaviour change app that behaves like a service and integrates the support of a real life coach and a wealth of useful bite size information and activities to help heart attack patients in every area of their life. It’s there to support them through the ups and downs, provide an understanding ear, and some inspiration to help them adjust and move forward.

I worked on this project with the wonderful team in DLBi’s Digital Innovation Group (DIG). I helped develop and write the content for service which encompasses videos, animations, activities, content cards, inspirational quotes, a website and a hospital leaflet. The service piloted in the US and got great feedback from patients.
