New App Aims to Bridge the Gap and Improve Indigenous Health Outcomes

An app to bridge the gap between Indigenous people and a largely non-Indigenous health regime has been launched – one designed to overcome the sense of disempowerment within the system.

It’s designed to help non-Indigenous workers come to grips with the cultural norms of health within Aboriginal communities.

NRN’s Frank Bonaccorso spoke with co-creator, Professor Mitchell Byrne, from Charles Darwin University about the app, called Gundiir and how it is as much about Closing The Gap as it is about better Indigenous health outcomes.
