Digital interventions to support people with multiple health conditions

Abstract
Multimorbidity, living with two or more chronic health conditions, poses a growing global challenge, affecting individuals, carers and healthcare systems. While many chronic conditions are manageable through self-care, people with multimorbidity often struggle to prioritise conditions, manage medications, and adhere to lifestyle changes.

This PhD will explore the needs, priorities, and challenges of individuals with multimorbidity (and other key stakeholders) in understanding and managing their conditions, and propose, design and evaluate digital interventions to support them.

This project benefits from established collaborations with the Diabetes Team at Imperial.
