Today’s guest is Dr Jade Kua – an accomplished paediatric emergency specialist, Dr Jade is also the Director of the DARE programme which stands for ‘Dispatcher-Assisted first REsponder’. The programme seeks to teach anyone to do hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use automated external defibrillators in case of emergencies. In addition to the launch of its nationwide campaign, DARE also launched an app with much success – there were positive signs in the uptake and interest internationally as well.
Five years after the launch of the DARE app, Dr Jade realised that the needs of the masses have changed. Much of the resources offered in the app could also be easily accessible from other platforms, which prompted her and her team to make the decision to decommission the app five years after its successful launch. Today, Dr Jade shares with us the process of seeing the app go from cradle to grave.
Learn about what it takes to pivot an app, and how TechforGood project teams need to be able to have honest conversations on the future of their tech products.
