Stud Health Technol Inform. 2020 Jun 16:270:1291-1292. doi: 10.3233/SHTI200407.

Abstract

The number of people with diabetes is increasing in every European country and as with all chronic diseases, coping with diabetes is a long-term process. Self-Management and supporting behaviour change are aspects when dealing with diabetes. The POWER2DM (Funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 689444) system combines treatment planning and self-management activities by providing interventions to change a patient's lifestyle towards a healthier, diabetes-appropriate life. FHIR3 allows for data exchange.

Keywords: behaviour change; decision support systems; self-management.
