Can you tell us a few things about yourself?
My name is Stella Vlachou. I have been married for the past 13 years, I have a 9-year-old child, and for the last year I have been living in Kallithea, Attica.
What motivated you to participate in the program?
My parents were taking medication for Type 2 diabetes, and I was afraid that I might have the same problem. I had done some tests that showed prediabetes, so I decided to participate in this program.
Here’s what Christina Pelekanou, DigiCare4You implementer from Greece, has to say about being involved in the DigiCare4You project:
“Hello. My name is Christina Pelekanou, I am a dietitian–nutritionist from Athens, and I am based at the Health Center of Ilioupoli, where for the past two years I have been supporting families as part of the DigiCare4You programme.
Consortium partners from the DigiCare4You project published a new article in the journal mHealth investigating user preferences for the design and features of digital health apps used to support the self-management of chronic conditions and healthy lifestyles.
The results suggest that mHealth apps should support shared goal-setting with healthcare professionals, limit notification and data entry burden, and focus on physical health monitoring.
