During our six weeks attached to
the RAT group, we have been comparing and contrasting case studies on two
participants from a feasibility study. The study looked at using a mhealth
device in helping to induce weight loss, blood sugar and increase adherence to
treatment program.
We had several meetings with our
supervisor, Peter Cudd where we discussed in length resolutions to any problems
we faced.
We looked at a study on whether mobile technology can help
people lose weight and improve their diabetes. We were both given 2 patients to
study and had to investigate whether they had found an mHealth device useful in
losing weight and whether there were other things going on in their lives that
could have had an impact on their weight. It was interesting to learn about
research as it’s not something either of us had much experience of. We also learned
new skills to take forward! We both found this project challenging but rewarding to see our finished projects and to
learn more about obesity and diabetes. –
