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.

One of the aims of the DigiCare4You project is to create a supportive social and physical environment within schools and communities for all citizens, beyond the individuals and families participating in the DigiCare4You intervention. In consideration of this, part of the DigiCare4You solution is a school intervention in which teachers will be trained to create a supportive environment that promotes the adoption of healthy and active lifestyles. To support this aim, material adapted to each country has been developed for the school-component of the project.
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).
