From research to innovation - Turning research into an innovative app to support the health, safety and well-being of women experiencing intimate partner violence.

More than 40% of Canadian women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at some point in their lives. It can be hard for women to figure out what to do about the abuse or the negative impacts it has. Even when different types of services are available, women can face barriers to getting help. During this presentation, Dr. Kelly Scott-Storey will share how over 20 years of research went into the design and development of a new innovative app for women experiencing violence that is expanding reach and accessibility. The new iHEAL app (https://ihealapp.ca/) is an interactive app that supports the health, safety and well-being of women. It is an accessible ‘made in Canada’ resource, that is easy and safe to use, and that provides tailored information appropriate for women across Canada. It is available online and through major app stores in both English and French.
