Webinar – Development of a Smartphone Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management App in the South Asian Community

South Asian people are three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than the average Canadian. Connecting South Asians to culturally-relevant and translated resources is crucial to reducing this prevalence. Spreading diabetes awareness and support in the South Asian community was mainly done in-person but was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

To address this roadblock in promoting diabetes awareness and support in this community, Self-Management BC developed AyogoT2D – a type 2 diabetes self-management app for the South Asian community to allow better access to diabetes care and resources at their fingertips.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
