Our main objective is to design and test a digital learning module on women's health and more specifically on mental health to help women in the workplace better understand their health and manage chronic illnesses. We are concentrating on cross-cutting aspects of care, such as mental health support. We will address the user experience at a macro level (overall journey) and a micro level (touchpoints), considering the overall environment, people, places, objects, rules, relationships, and potential barriers. The expected outcomes of this project include knowledge sharing and the creation of a platform for exchanging ideas and best practices among women, with the support of healthcare professionals. Our project contributes to improving access to sexual and reproductive healthcare both nationally and across Europe. By implementing FEMCARE we will support the need for adult education related to sexual and reproductive health. In particular, through our human-centric, design-driven project we will contribute to creating awareness and developing digital tools to self-care in nutrition and mental health.
We applied for this project due to the critical gap in reliable and accessible knowledge surrounding women's health. We have identified several key areas where this project could make a significant impact, including: - Limited access to accurate information and appropriate care for sexual and reproductive health (SRH). - A lack of opportunities for women to connect, share, and learn from each other: many aspects of SRH remain taboo, leaving women feeling isolated and alone. - A lack of preventive healthcare support: lifestyle factors are crucial when it comes to women's health and nutrition, physical activity and mental health aspects can be a driver of healing or seriously affect the way we experience different issues.
