What is the MyT1DHero App?

MyT1DHero is a mobile phone app that connects kids with T1D to their parents to help support the transition to self-management.

This mobile app links parents and kids by creating two separate apps (one for the parent and one for the child) that work together to manage T1D.

The main goal of this research is to aid in the successful transition to self-care for the child and increase positive health outcomes.

This research will also help us to further understand what types of messages, reward systems, and technology cues can improve adherence.
