Active & Healthy Website Case Study

Active & Healthy

NSW Government Health

Active and Healthy, a sector of NSW Government Health required a custom web-based directory of falls prevention programs which promoted fitness for the elderly. The directory and website by definition needed to be easy-to-use for senior visitors – and be compliant with the older browsers used by that demographic.

Through a clever integration of Formflex and Siteflex's Contacts Module, combined with a clean user-friendly design, Siteflex allowed just that. Active and Healthy was provided with a website solution that allowed both the input and output of the data to be entirely managed through the directory, and Siteflex.

Formflex was modified to allow multiple step forms - this means that Providers can register themselves, then proceed to a "next step" form, which they could submit multiple times to register multiple programs. This would then utilise the Contacts Module's "Relationship" functionality to link the registrant with their programs. A Registrant portal was then provided to allow registrants to see all of their registered programs, and edit them!

With this much user interaction and control, Active and Healthy also needed a way to monitor and administer the data on their webpage. Formflex allows Active and Healthy to approve and disapprove any submissions made to the website, which helped to moderate content changes, and also helped to uphold their inclusion criteria.

Visitors could then search the directory for programs by location and a desired distance, as soon as they were approved by Active and Healthy. The Visitor could also choose to see these programs mapped out, and even find directions and travel times to these.

If you know anyone who may be at risk of a fall, such as an older family member, this NSW Government Health website is a really valuable tool to learn to take measures to prevent a fall. The Active and Healthy Guide includes everything from exercises that can be done at home, to appropriate footwear, as well as crucial information on actions to take if you do have a fall.
