Scientists of the Department of Computer Science of the Lublin University of Technology (PL) will develop a T1DCoach mobile application for teenagers with type 1 diabetes, their guardians, and youth doctors and educators. 

The T1DCoach application will support the education of the patients, as well as their caregivers and doctor, by shaping the correct habits of behaviour of patients with type 1 diabetes during their stay in the hospital and after leaving it.

-Our application will be comfortable, friendly and intuitive, using an improved simulation model (T1DDS discrete diabetes simulator). Additionally, it is to contain historical data on the course of the disease and simulation results. Interested persons will be able to download it for free on websites – explains Prof. Marek Miłosz, project manager from the Department of Computer Science.

Work on the application will take 3 years. Its cost is PLN 2.4 million. The funds will be allocated by the National Center for Research and Development as part of the “Things are for people” competition.
