Software developer for a web-app. Digital health intervention for maternal alcohol use

Descriptions

Working with a national research team, led by LJMU, and maternal populations and healthcare providers to coproduce digital public health alcohol interventions tailored to maternal populations. The interventions will take the form of a web-app. The aim of the intervention is to support women to adhere to relevant alcohol guidelines when trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and early motherhood (up to 5 years postpartum). LJMU will require the software developers to: •Deliver a web-app (accessible online and through Apple and Android operating systems) with deployment in relevant app stores, with capabilities of setting up an account/profile on the web version. •Incorporate ways to increase long term engagement and record data to enable future intervention evaluation. •Work with the team and professional and public stakeholders in an iterative manner to deliver an intervention which meets the needs of the user population. •Produce a web-app/intervention which is flexible, changing as the needs and circumstances of the user changes (e.g. moving from pregnancy to motherhood). •Provide expertise in developing a web-app which is aesthetically pleasing, has high levels of usability and acceptability, has acceptable ongoing/maintenance costs. •Provide prototypes for coproduction testing/evaluation (months 3, 5, 7), and deliver the web-app by 9 months, ready for usability and acceptability assessment. •Agree that all foreground/background intellectual property (IP) and database rights will be owned by LJMU. •Adhere to all relevant legal and data requirements. •Aesthetics are crucial to the success of this web-app
