The story of Frank's control over his diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disease; one in which the risk of complications increases as a result of dysregulated glucose levels. Unfortunately, the number of diabetes 2 patients is increasing rapidly and they need help to control their disease. In order to stay healthy, diabetics need to constantly make sure that their blood sugar levels stay low and stable. To better assist them in maintaining their glucose levels, our researchers and students from the Master's in Health Sciences, Computer Science, and Psychology developed the special support system 'Diameter'.
One project, three perspectives
At UT, we believe that solutions to challenges like this can only be created by joining forces from different perspectives. How can students of the Master's in Health Sciences, Computer Science, and Psychology contribute to the development of an app that helps diabetics to control their disease?
Create impact with a master's degree
All of our education and research is aimed to come up with solutions for today's challenges. Obtaining a university-level master's degree can help you to impact society by deepening your expertise in a certain field while also broadening your view and looking beyond your own discipline. Have you become interested in one of these master's programmes? Find out more below.
'DIAMETER', THE SMART BUDDY
Are you wondering how the special support system 'Diameter' was developed? Listen to the experts in computer science, health sciences and psychology in the podcast below. Also, read the story of diabetes patient Ron. He took part in the Diameter pilot and during that time his blood sugar values reached the best levels they had in years!
Student experiences
The development of the Diameter app is a fascinating story that affects the lives of diabetes patients in a positive way. Read the stories of our students who transferred from a university of applied science (in Dutch: HBO) to a master's at UT, and find out how they contributed to the development of the Diameter app during their studies!
