Objetivos do Projeto

  1. Understanding the relationship between the features of the patients and their behaviour concerning the risk perception of diabetes (either type 1 or type 2) and the use of technological devices
  2. Independent assessment of the technological devices considering a cost-benefit balance and their adoption for different types of patients
  3. Modelling the decision process of the patient to contribute to his empowerment to prevent diabetes, making the most appropriate use of information signals, and monitoring
  4. Proposing recommendations for clinical practice to cope with technologies and new organizational models to provide better health services for diabetes and more rational policies for public support, funding, and technological procurement

Expected outcomes of the Project
NEODIPPE is devoted to INNOVATION in HEALTH, namely through:

  1. better understanding of the relationship between patients and technologies
  2. cost-benefit results assessing technologies
  3. better models of the decision-making processes of the patients
  4. how all these results can contribute to the empowerment of patients
  5. new organizational models of the Health Services
  6. new procedures for public financing and technological procuremen

These innovation paths match three major objectives:

  1. quality: better diabetes management
  2. effectiveness: better use of technology
  3. sustainability: better and more sustainable organizational and procurement health models
