Summary
A prototype app that connects people living with long-term conditions such as diabetes, so they can support each other and share practical advice.
Living with diabetes is a daily task that happens mostly outside the clinic. People often learn the most practical lessons from others who live with the same condition.
C.P.-Support (Chronic Patients Support) developed a prototype of an intelligent peer-support platform for chronic disease management, with a focus on people living with diabetes. It anticipated DAQIQ’s interest in the lived experience of diabetes.
Key findings
Two to four headline results, each with a number and one line of explanation
OverviewWhy it matters · Research question and aims · Impact
Why it matters
- Most diabetes care happens outside the clinic, and people often learn the most practical lessons from each other.
Research question and aims
The main research question- Design a peer-support platform for people managing chronic conditions such as diabetes.
- Use intelligent matching and content to connect people with relevant peers and information.
Impact
Who benefits and how: patients, clinicians, health services, policy, training (e.g. "Model shared with HMC diabetes clinic")
