| Abstract: | Type 2 diabetes is a growing public health issue in the Netherlands, affecting over 1.1 million individuals. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes and medication. However, medication adherence remains a major challenge, leading to poorer health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based medication module to support adherence among type 2 diabetes patients. Semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals and a hospital staff member, along with a patient survey, provided insights into adherence barriers, desired functionalities, and message development. The User-Centred Design approach and the Behaviour Change Wheel framework guided the process. The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for the diverse type 2 diabetes population. A tailored solution with clear, relevant messages and user-friendly functionalities may effectively improve medication adherence and support self-management. |
