Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus affects 347 million people worldwide and is predicted to become the seventh leading cause of death by 2030. With an ageing population set to strain health- care resources globally, providers are shifting focus towards technology for a more efficient solution to managing people's health. As a result, mobile health (mHealth) technologies have emerged to allow people to effectively self-manage chronic diseases, such as diabetes. However, many mobile technologies are not appropriate for older adults. The aim of this research is to develop a diabetes mHealth app through user-centred design with older adults.
