Over 60 experts from National Ministries, WHO Europe and pan-European public health organisations and the DigiCare4You consortium met on April 29 in Brussels, Belgium.

The DigiCare4You consortium shared final results of the project and together with our experts, exchanged knowledge and explored scale-up and transferability opportunities.

ΡΡ: Τι σας παρακίνησε να συμμετάσχετε στο πρόγραμμα;

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.

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.
