Launch of the ENDORSE research project, aiming at empowering self-management of health in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and/or Obesity

BioSim launches a new research project in the framework of the “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” Operational Programme 2014-2020, titled "A comprehensive approach to empower self-management of health in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and/or Obesity based on gamification mechanisms and biofeedback (ENDORSE)".
The project aims at the design, implementation and evaluation of a prototype integrated platform based on advanced and emerging Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), gamification and biofeedback mechanisms facilitating self-management of health in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and obesity. ENDORSE will focus on the development of a pervasive environment able to deliver applications and services with the ultimate goal to raise awareness, to train, to monitor, to comply, to promote healthy lifestyle behavioral changes and to support decision-making by placing the target groups (children and adolescents with T1DM and/or obesity) at the center of their healthcare.
