Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adherence to therapy 1) for medication as measured by the system (% of medication intakes taken) and 2) lifestyle aspects measured via questionnaires (number of gym visits, amount of physical activities and their intensity, healthy and unhealthy food consumption). The ultimate goal is that the system provides an improved adherence to therapy (both to medication intake and life style changes), eventually resulting in a reduction in the risk of developing late-stage complications. | — |
