Today the Find Logo and Give Medication Advice (FLAG-Me) team was awarded £5,000 from the FBMH Research Collaboration Fund.
This funding will be used for collaboration with Imago software team to develop demo software which displays an internationally recognisable VI logo. This will help pharmacists identify visually impaired patients and respond to their additional needs to prevent medication safety errors.
In addition, 2 patients with visual impairments will also support the project as advisors, providing their unique insights and expertise as part of the visually impaired community.
Lastly, it will support plans to generate similar solutions for patients with hearing impairment and/or cognitive impairment, or any combination of these.
