Get Involved

Success in developing the BEAMER model depends on the support of individuals from all walks of life. When you engage with us, the model gets one step closer to becoming more applicable in real-world settings. So, whether you work in the industry or are an everyday citizen, join us. Help us create the model that will work for patients with any disease.

Because better care means a higher quality of life.

Patients
  • BEAMER would encourage you to tell your story as a unique individual with a unique health journey.
  • Participation in the co-creation process would ensure that what is developed will reflect what you have always needed.
  • BEAMER would help you receive the proper support at the right level and time.
  • BEAMER would help you get the correct information in the right form and from the right source.

Raise Awareness

Making a difference in care does not always mean you need to create a complex model. You can share knowledge and insights with the wider community to help shed light on the health issue and increase the chances of better adherence amongst patients.

Here is a series of editable resources and infographics you can translate to your language and use in your region. Feel free to tag @BEAMERPROJECT on Twitter or LinkedIn to let us know what you do! We’d be glad to re-post!

This infographic briefly describes the implications of non-adherence
and how the BEAMER project will help address the major health issue

Our newsletters cover various topics, from sharing news from the BEAMER project to research and scientific progress related to adherence.

Join BEAMER!

At one point, you and I will become a patient or caregiver. Promise yourself and your loved ones the care that leads to a better quality of life.

Healthcare Professional

The primary aim of the end user personas is to support the creation of materials to support the implementation of the BEAMER model framework and to help define requirements for the elements of the BEAMER model framework. Hence, healthcare professionals (HCPs) represent the primary envisaged end user group of the BEAMER model framework and the associated Adherence Intelligence Visualisation Platform (AIVP)

It is one learning from the joint design process that the job titles of healthcare professional team members do not necessarily predict the roles they would play within the change management process for implementing BEAMER and installing it as a standard model within healthcare. Additionally, the role and responsibilities of certain job titles, for example nurse, varies across different healthcare systems and would affect how they interact with the BEAMER model outputs and the access they would be permitted and so it would not be helpful to include these job titles: The four personas represent role-independent archetypes within the group of HCPs. They encompass a Managerial HCP Persona, an Implementer HCP Persona, a Support HCP Persona, and a Established HCP Persona.

These healthcare professional personas may be further tailored to specific healthcare settings depending on the needs of the individual pilot sites. Thus, adapted or spin-off versions of these original personas may be considered. The persona displays include a summarising statement, goals, challenges, experience, and needs to enhance the accessibility and usability of the model while minimising user burden.

Patient Organisation

Patient organisations are considered potential users of the model outputs. Consequently, personas were designed for these groups to assure that the implementation materials may also support their needs in the longer term, thus fostering sustainability of the project outputs.

The identified focus areas within this persona are goals, needs, skills and tools, along with potential challenges anticipated during the implementation process. The persona emphasises awareness-raising, capacity building, education, peer support provision, and the promotion of research and development in therapeutic care.

The patient organisation persona serves as a theoretical framework representing how patient organisations could benefit from and include the BEAMER model framework in their therapy and care related as well as their organisational work. This persona comprises the needs, goals, challenges and necessary tools, facilitating preparation and implementation of the model and optimising the user experience of patient organisations as end users of the BEAMER model framework. It can be used as a guide to identify potential obstacles and understand the prerequisites for a patient organisation to successfully adopt and integrate the BEAMER model framework.

“In implementing the BEAMER model, we want to be able to respond to the different needs of our patients to ensure their adherence, build a supportive community and improve outcomes.”
