Western University professor Dr. Ford-Gilboe was part of a team that help create an app for women who deal with intimate spousal abuse. The app is called ‘IHeal‘ and Ford-Gilboe mentions why the app is helpful to women.
She also mentions ” This is an app that has been develop on 20 years of research done by me and my team”.
The app just launched and even in the short time they have already been receiving positive reviews and how much the app has helped. One story that stood out to her was a caller on the radio that shared some information on how the app helped him and his family.
“He has a family member who is in an abusive situation and hasn’t known how to help support her and she lives in another area. So, he was just so grateful in his is going to call his family member and share the information.”
Even in this short time after launch this app is already making a difference.
