Raising awareness about DiaPS
As part of her presentation, Prof. Cigrovski Berković spoke about the objectives of the DiaPS project, emphasising its mission to support people living with diabetes through digital peer support, evidence-based educational content, and a strong community of athletes, coaches, parents, and healthcare professionals.
Participants were also introduced to the DiaPS application, which was under development at the time and designed to provide practical guidance, reliable information, and a safe space for sharing experiences related to diabetes and sport.
Connecting healthcare and sport
The promotion of DiaPS during the webinar reflects the importance of collaboration between the healthcare sector and the sports community. By bringing together medical expertise and the lived experiences of people with diabetes, the project aims to create a comprehensive support system that encourages active lifestyles and improves confidence in participating in sport.
Educational events such as this webinar also provide an excellent opportunity to introduce innovative initiatives like DiaPS to a wider audience and strengthen awareness of the benefits of peer support.
Building a stronger diabetes community
The presentation of DiaPS by Prof. Maja Cigrovski Berković represents another important step in increasing the project’s visibility and reaching new users. Through partnerships with healthcare professionals, academic institutions, and diabetes organisations, DiaPS continues to expand its network and promote the message that diabetes should never be a barrier to living an active and healthy life.
