The IDDEAS and GDS projects seek to develop innovative new resources for My Diabetes My Way (MDMW) to support people living with diabetes to gain insight from health and lifestyle data to improve self-management. The IDDEAS and GDS projects were proposed by the Clinical and Technical Leads from the MDMW team, both based at the University of Dundee. The projects were accepted by the DHI as part of an integrated ‘Digital Diabetes’ programme of seven projects seeking to develop digital resources to support self-management. The Experience Lab Team were tasked with working with the intended end users to understand how they would like to collect, share, see and use their health and lifestyle data within MDMW, and understand the acceptability of the proposed innovations and how they could best support self-management.
