BrighterSide is an app aiming to reduce suicidal ideation, which was co-designed with people who have a lived experience of suicide. The purpose of co-design was to ensure the accessibility and usability of the app was sensitive, inclusive and useful to users. Furthermore, the apps content and the self-report measures used in data collection were also co-developed with lived experience members, so that the app would be seen by consumers as helpful and relevant.
