Abstract

Health education is essential for type 1 diabetic patients to actively participate in the decision-making process about their disease. Under the framework of the INCAP project, a mobile application has been designed and developed with an easy-to-use interface for type 1 diabetic patients to improve their empowerment, activation and thus their self-control and improvement of their treatment adherence.
