DigiCare4You

There are about 60 million people with diabetes in the European region. The prevalence of diabetes is increasing, mostly due to increases in excess weight and obesity, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. In this context, the EU-funded DigiCare4You project will deliver an intersectoral innovation involving digital tools for early screening, prevention and management of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Specifically, more than 10 000 families will be targeted in two middle-income and two high-income countries. Schools will be an entry point to the community. While existing procedures for children’s periodic growth assessment (conducted via school nurses or in collaboration with local community health centres) will be improved, parents/caregivers will be screened via a non-invasive self-reported digital tool.

ΙΤΙ-CERTH is leading the WP entitled “Development of the tools for the evaluation & monitoring of the DigiCare4You solution”. This aims to deliver the tools needed to evaluate the implementation of the DigiCare4You solution, to ensure it is implemented as planned, reaching those primarily in need and ensuring equity (possess evaluation); creating a supportive social and physical environment at a school and community level and supporting the targeted behavioural changes at participant level (impact evaluation); in order to deliver the foreseen changes on the clinical indices and quality of life of the participants (outcome evaluation). ITI-CERTH further leads the tasks for the development of the digital tools for the two-stage screening procedure and the development of the DigiCare4You Digital Platform and Secure Cloud-Based Repository.
