Description

The VA Pressure Ulcer Resource (VAPUR) Mobile App is for outpatient Veterans and their family-member caregivers, not medical professionals. The Learn function gives users simple content with graphics and videos structured as FAQs on everything from pressure ulcer care to the role of nutrition and exercise in prevention and healing. Medical professionals also may use VAPUR to educate patients about pressure ulcers before discharge. The “Journal Entry” function provides the ability to track individual pressure ulcers, capturing such information as wound size, shape, color, amount and color of drainage, and pain level. This is important, particularly in home-based and rural settings for Veterans do not have daily access to high-quality, evidence-based wound-care specialists. Other functionality includes reminders, automated help dialing, and resource locators.

Help Screen Function broken

Help screen offers several options to locate facilities near you or call 911, VA crisis hotline etc. However, there is no action on the screen when these functions are selected, nor is there an error message. Having this functionality available would be a plus and improve overall usefulness of the APP.
