Welcome to the DigiCare4You Community

DigiCare4You is an innovative, easy-to-implement, low-cost, and sustainable solution which will help build healthcare services’ capacity and strengthen countries’ primary care systems as well as address the specific needs and preferences of people at risk of T2D and/or hypertension, as they develop healthy habits and engage in activities supporting their well-being. Aiming to be a fully scalable and transferable solution, a roadmap will be developed to help policymakers  assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the DigiCare4You solution in their regions/countries and promote people-centred care and integrated health services in Europe and beyond.

Project News

DigiCare4You aims to improve the early prevention and management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HTN) via a community-based, person-centred solution, integrating both social and healthcare systems, supported by the use of digital tools. 

As part of the project, a legal and ethical framework has been developed which outlines the consortium's strategy for managing research activities in accordance with national, international and supranational ethical and legal standards. 

High blood pressure or hypertension is very common and an important risk factor for the development of heart disease and stroke, especially if left untreated.

Having high blood pressure means that your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. According to the European Society of Cardiology, hypertension is defined by a systolic pressure greater than 140 millimeters of mercury or diastolic pressure over 90.

Across the world, 537 million people were living with diabetes in 2021, of whom 61 million in Europe, and this figure is anticipated to increase to 643 by 2030 (67 million in Europe).

An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide live with hypertension (HTN). HTN is also approximately twice as prevalent in people living with diabetes as in the general population.
