Service concept

PD - the health tracker that makes healthy choices seamless and fun. PD takes people at risk of diabetes on an interactive journey where they experience real life situations that are bad for them. As they interact with the app they learn to say no (nein!) to bad habits and break up with them. PD is an AI companion that follows a person’s behaviours in everyday situations. Statistics let the user learn more about health and reflect on the decisions they make in their routines. PD will suggest healthy alternatives step-by-step that feel like they come from a friend.
