The newly-launched MyHealthDecision website provides a series of easy to use single screen on-line decision support tools are available to help people make decisions about their health. Our goal is to empower people to make the best health choices for themselves, either as a shared process with a health professional or as an individual choice.
Participants will have the opportunity to put our healthEdecision platform to the test, seeing how the on-line decision tools personalise the task of decision making. By dragging a sliding bar on screen you assign importance weights to the attributes of a health decision that are important to you. Combined with the best available evidence on the probability of each option achieving each attribute, the output is a ranked order ‘opinion’ on the options, is a product of the weighted sum of the probabilities for each criterion and the importance weight expressed by the user.
The web site also facilitates communities of professionals to engage in debate about the evidence of health options.
