| Description | Most mHealth apps for Armed Forces Veterans (AFV) focus on treating mental health conditions and addictions and rely on national-wide government-based systems. There is scant research that investigates how technology could be designed in a way that builds upon and leverages what AFV have already in place in their local communities for exchange of information, resources, and social support. Thus, we propose to co-design a prototype of a technological intervention that will leverage the resources and assets already available in the AFV’s local community based on an assets-based design approach. We will co-create an online intervention (it could be app-based or web-based and using AI-powered features/functionality) that could help the AFV community address their needs and challenges. We envision that a co-created assets-based technology with AFV and stakeholders will allow AFV to find and access available local community-based resources in an easier and more effective way while minimising barriers related to stigma and distrust between the AFV community and support providers. |
