Our Smart Family Buddy (2022-2028)

‘Our Smart Family Buddy: Co-creative Interactive Digital Buddy platform for young families in deprived neighbourhoods that fosters health literacy, healthy lifestyle, and healthy environments’

Young families in deprived neighbourhoods benefit less from technological advancements to improve unhealthy lifestyles. “Our Smart Family Buddy” (ID-Buddy), Interactive Digital platform with human and environmental interactions, aims to foster health literacy, healthy lifestyles and environments and tailored to these families. ID-Buddy will be developed through fieldlab methodology, including co-creation in societal learning communities with families and a consortium of experts, public and private organizations, e.g., schools, child(health)care, local/regional/governmental organizations, municipality, IT, health insurances. Our ultimate goal is that ID-Buddy contributes to better health, lower health care and societal costs, and with a positive impact on health and societal equalities.
