Project Details
Description
Aim To examine “what works and doesn’t work” in self-management conducted by individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic co-morbidities.
Significance More than $1 billion is spent each year to encourage better management of chronic diseases. Whilst effective self-management can deliver better health outcomes at lower overall cost, it is unclear what works from patient perspective.
Outcomes
1. A taxonomy of ‘patient work’ in chronic disease management.
2. Real-world strategies that integrate self-management into patients’ lives.
3. A novel methodology developed by expertise in consumer digital health (Macquarie University), time use research (University of Oxford), design & implementation science (University College London).
