Abstract

CardioPharm is a public interactive health promotion software for use by customers visiting community pharmacies. The program gives advice on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, requiring the user to input various details of their lifestyle, with particular attention to diet. The user is asked questions about their fibre, fruit and vegetables, and fat intake. A brief risk assessment is then provided and further advice given. The user is encouraged to consult health promotion leaflets provided at the side of the computer kiosk, or ask the pharmacist for more detailed information. CardioPharm has been designed and developed in a multimedia format incorporating sound, video and touch screen. This format allows easier access to the information and makes learning easier for the user.
