EMCA Connect Istanbul: DiaPS (Diabetes Digital Peer Support)
At the EMCA Connect Autumn 2025 weekend in Istanbul, the DiaPS project was featured as part of the EMCA Projects Poster Walk, presenting its innovative digital approach to supporting athletes and individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes.
DiaPS (Diabetes Peer Support) is a digital application co-created with people living with Type 1 Diabetes. It brings together:
A vibrant peer-to-peer community where users share experiences and find practical answers
Expert-reviewed content on sport and diabetes management
Tools and resources tailored for athletes, parents, coaches, and educators
The app’s goal is to empower, inform, and connect users — helping people with diabetes stay active in sport with confidence, reduce drop-out rates, and create role models for future generations.
EMCA and TSV Bayer04 are partners in this project, which is coordinated by HASK Mladost.
