What is MyABDR?
MyABDR is a collaborative project between Haemophilia Foundation Australia (HFA), the Australian Haemophilia Centre Directors’ Organisation (AHCDO) and the National Blood Authority (NBA) to develop an app for a smartphone and a secure web site for people with bleeding disorders or parents/caregivers to record bleeds and home treatments. This project will also have considerable input from the specialist haemophilia nurse, data manager, physiotherapist and social worker and counsellor groups.
The app and secure web site will link directly to the Australian Bleeding Disorders Registry (ABDR) which is the system used nationally by Haemophilia Centres for clinical care of their patients.
What’s the point of the new app and secure web site?
- To make it quick and easy for people to record their bleeds or treatments and update their contact details
- Haemophilia Centres can keep track of what is happening for their patients to see if there are any problems or treatment plans need adjusting
- Haemophilia Centres won’t need to re-enter or upload patient diaries into the ABDR
- It will facilitate notifications about product batches, so people will be able to receive information about products or recalls
- De-identified information about the amount of product being used can help the government to stocktake and plan for purchase of future supplies
- The pooled de-identified information can be used nationally by specialist clinicians and researchers to see trends and patterns for bleeds and treatments – very important for improving treatment and care in rare diseases like bleeding disorders!
The MyABDR app and secure web site will be:
- Optional
- Secure – you will need to login on your phone or computer with a personal password and the ABDR database is protected with the highest level of security
- Private – identifying patient information will only be accessible in the ABDR by your Haemophilia Centre and specially selected NBA technical support/helpdesk staff authorised by the ABDR Steering Committee for the purposes of supporting and maintaining the ABDR.
