A stroke is a medical emergency affecting over one in four adults globally. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off resulting in oxygen starvation, brain damage and loss of function. Stroke survivors can develop short and longterm complications, including, for example, mobility and speech issues. Knowing more about the prevention and symptoms of stroke could save millions of lives. For World Stroke Day, DigiCare4You wishes to raise awareness of the seriousness of strokes and the importance of prevention strategies.
DigiCare4You is a Horizon2020 project which 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. The project will also develop a roadmap to help policymakers assess the transferability, feasibility and effectiveness of the solution in their countries.

The project’s overall objective is to assess the scalability and transferability of an intersectoral, innovative personcentred solution involving digital tools, aimed at empowering families and integrating community care services in Europe for the prevention and management of T2D and HTN. To do so, schools will be used as an entry point to screen families for pre-diabetes, T2D or hypertension via a digital screening tool.
Thirty of the 61 million people currently living with diabetes in Europe are women. 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.
