The myra app (My Resources App) helps older adults and their network of carers and supporters to facilitate safe discharge from hospital and reduce the risk of re-admission.
Embark on your post-hospitalisation journey with myra—where knowledge meets support, services, and recovery.
Staying in hospital after you are declared fit for discharge can be detrimental to your physical and mental health.
Going home from hospital will look different for everyone but there are some key steps and decisions to be made. Your active involvement in the planning and provision of information to the discharge team can make a huge difference. Use the myra app to find the right resources to aid the recovery journey.
There is something for everyone in the app, ensuring no aspect of your care journey is overlooked, whether you are going back home or elsewhere for respite or longer term stays.
Once out of hospital there are also resources on how to stay well to avoid re-admission.
What about carers? We know that informal carers need support too so there is a whole section focused on resources to support you. Strengthen your care giving journey.
The app has categories of resources set up to cover the many aspects related to a hospital discharge, such as general information, medication, equipment, hospital transport, organising and finding care at home, finding a care home, financial considerations/benefits, carer support.
Once youve selected your category you can search the resources which also includes local information, currently Isle of wight focussed (other areas coming soon), for items such as where to hire a wheelchair, hot food delivery, emergency call systems, and volunteer organisations who help older adults.
We actively seek your feedback and suggestions for resources that you have found helpful.
