Emily Ashurst - Diabetes App Challange
- 1. Diabetes App Challenge Apps developed BY young people with diabetes FOR young people with diabetes Emily Ashurst, Professor Jonathan Pinkney&Professor Ray Jones
- 2. The Diabetes App Challenge is run by Plymouth University, Peninsula College of Medicine & Dentistry and funded by Diabetes UK
- 3. Stage one: the competition • We wanted to get Young people with diabetes (YPD) to develop apps for other YPD • An app that might help them prepare for and set the agenda for diabetes clinic appointments • So we set up a competition, inviting YPD aged 16-25 to design and create the apps
- 5. Interest • 28 young people with diabetes • 25 people ‘tech minded’ but not YPD • Plus 3 others (i.e. older T1D offering support) • Some YPD did not know how develop an app, and some app developers did not know anyone or have T1D so we ‘match-made’ 9 teams via email
- 6. Process • We offered tech support in the forum • Email communication & forum for updates on app progress, offering support & answering queries • A lot of attrition along the way mostly due to other time commitments • In total 5 teams submitted an app for the competition • Plus we included a website created by a YPD who helped in the development of the DAC project & was included as an example to other developers
