Digital support for type 2 diabetes patients

 

How can you transform data on elderly diabetes patients into a form they easily understand, which empowers them to get a grip on their condition and which can be shared immediately with different caregivers?

 

Type 2 diabetes is on the rise worldwide; hundreds of millions of people are currently suffering from this debilitating disease. We want you to help us create an app (and other tools) to make the lives of type 2 diabetics easier and which empowers them to take control of their situation - especially when they are elderly. By combining readings on glucose levels with medication reminders, lifestyle tips and alerts it’s possible to make a big difference to their lives. But only when the information is presented in a clear and informative way, particularly for older people with a limited grasp of the digital world.
