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.
Thirty of the 61 million people currently living with diabetes in Europe are women [i]. Undiagnosed diabetes and diabetes with suboptimal glycemic control potentially result in devastating complications, negatively affecting quality of life and health outcomes. An increasing body of evidence suggests that diabetes adversely affects women more than men.
On Florence Nightingale´s birthday, we are celebrating International Nurses Day, a global event to mark the contributions nurses make to society! “Investing in nursing and respecting nurses’ rights to secure global health” is the theme of the global campaign this year launched by the International Council of Nurses.
DigiCare4You’s Work Package 2 is responsible for the stakeholder engagement, situation analysis & implementation strategies of the project. As part of this, partners from Sant ´Anna School of Advanced Studies developed a situation analysis to record and understand the contextual factors related to primary and community healthcare services in each of the four implementation countries of the DigiCare4You study (Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Spain).
