Our mobile app development team have developed a brand new and engaging mobile app, specially developed and is aimed at bringing awareness around ECT.
Working alongside specialists from Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) we have created our mobile & tablet app using the mDesign Development Platform.
For patients the easily accessible mobile app aims to demystify ECT and thereby addresses the stigma and worries that exist around the treatment. Allowing them to make an informed choice about their care.
For professionals it can be used as a training tool for ECT prescribers, psychiatry trainees, doctors and mental health nurses in the public and private sector.
Using a multimedia approach, with video, text and audio content to show all aspects of the treatment, along with interviews with clinicians and a patient.
The app was launched at the Royal College of Psychiatrists and is available to download today for free.
Dr Girish Kunigiri said:
“LHIS developed a state of the art and first of it’s kind app on Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).
This is an app for all patients, carers and professionals. The clinical content was produced by ECT experts and the design, recording, editing videos and marketing was done by LHIS.
I am very impressed by the support and quality of work delivered by LHIS.
We have seen a fantastic response from the media on the launch of our ECT App:

Congratulations to our ECT team on reaching the finals of the PENNA Awards, in the Tech & Social Media Category!
“This was a fantastic day, showcasing our app to patients and colleagues. Plus seeing the great work being done in other trusts around the country, it was a really inspiring day to be around so many innovators”
Mobile Application Development
Here at LHIS we pride ourselves on our ability to use the latest technology available to help our customers make improvements, and efficiencies in their organisation, or to their customers!
This is a prime example of that ethos. Mobile application technology may seem out of reach to many organisations, however this is not the case. As you can see from the apps we have now made available on the Apple and Google Play Store, mobile app technology can be used for many things from simplifying and improving business as usual activities, such as patient communication and education, to enabling tools such as wireless availability.
This is a definite growth area for the industry, people are accessing information when and where they want to, and mobile apps allows you to target this audience directly, in the comfort of their own home, on the bus, or as an additional tool to be used in consultation with a customer/patient.
