A consortium of health and social care providers are working together on a trial of tailored digital health and wellbeing packages sent via SMS to people at risk of or experiencing homelessness, with a specific COVID-19 information package developed to support them during the pandemic.
The digital health toolkits have been developed to address five priority health areas including mental health, infectious disease, oral health, chronic disease and alcohol and other drugs, and will be sent to each person's mobile phone by their outreach worker using patient education specialist Healthily's GoShare platform.
