The aim of this project is to investigate how reflective engagement with lived experiences can be integrated into the care process of young adults with Type 1 Diabetes, enabling more conscious involvement in self-care and more meaningful conversations with care teams about the psychosocial aspects of living with T1D.​

​

This challenge was approached through a Value Sensitive Design process, triangulating insights from previous project work, literature, and expert input to uncover the values that matter most to young adults living with T1D.

​

These values informed the development of DiaLog, a design concept that supports reflection on and contextualisation of lived experiences with T1D and enables their integration into consultation preparation and dialogue with the care team. DiaLog functioned as a conversation tool in user critique sessions with YAwT1D and healthcare professionals, resulting in concrete design implications.
