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. 

The diabetes and hypertension country profile of Spain is now also available in Spanish.

You can find all country profiles under the ‘General Information’ tab on the website.

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.
