ComArtSci Researchers Tackle Type 1 Diabetes with New Mobile App
MyT1DHero is jointly designed for adolescents ages 10-15 with T1D and their parents. The goal of the app is to aid adolescents in transitioning to independently managing their health, encouraging self-sufficiency while maintaining an open line of communication with parents. The hope is that encouraging more positive communication between children and parents will help improve children’s health and reduce stress for their parents.
