THE DIABOOK
Lieverse's 'DiaBook' tackles this problem. The 'DiaBook' is a series of interactive audiobooks specially designed with communication strategies to help people with LHL understand and implement the lifestyle changes needed to effectively control their Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The first book in the series has already been developed in partnership with the target group and relevant experts, but it still needs some fine-tuning.
GOAL OF THE PROJECT
The goal of the project is to further develop the prototype of the 'DiaBook' and comprehensively evaluate it with the target group. Feedback from users and experts will enable optimisation of the audiobook.
PROMISING RESULTS
The initial responses to the 'DiaBook' prototype have been very positive. Users say the interactive elements and the user-friendliness of the audiobook enable them to better understand the information and apply it in their daily lives. This is a very promising result that justifies further development.
