DiaPS project development and promotion highlighted at EMCA General Assembly in Piraeus
From 7 to 8 March 2025, project partners took part in the EMCA General Assembly held in Piraeus, Greece, once again gathering multisport organisations and stakeholders from across Europe.
During the Assembly, the DiaPS – Diabetes and Sport Peer Support project was presented with a focus on its ongoing development phase, highlighting both the technical progress of the digital solution and the continued efforts in project dissemination.
Ongoing development of the digital solution
At this stage of the project, the DiaPS application is actively being developed in close collaboration with developers and UX/UI designers, with the goal of creating a user-friendly and accessible platform for all target groups.
Discussions focused on refining key features of the application, including user interaction, content navigation, and community functionalities. Particular attention is being given to ensuring a smooth user experience, allowing users to easily access educational materials while engaging with peer support elements within the platform.
Parallel work on content and user experience
In parallel with technical development, partners continue to work on expanding and structuring the educational content that will be integrated into the platform. This includes practical resources on sport and diabetes, designed to be clear, relevant, and easy to apply in real-life situations.
The alignment between content and design remains a key priority, ensuring that the information is not only valuable, but also presented in a way that supports intuitive use and encourages exploration.
Promoting DiaPS across the European network
Alongside development, the DiaPS project is being actively promoted across various events and networks, including EMCA activities. The General Assembly in Piraeus provided another valuable opportunity to present the project, share its progress, and raise awareness among organisations working in sport.
By continuously engaging with stakeholders and the wider sports community, the project aims to build visibility and prepare the ground for the upcoming launch of the platform.
As the development phase progresses, the focus remains on finalising the application, testing its functionalities, and ensuring that the platform effectively responds to the needs of people living with diabetes in sport.
