Diabetes Hands Foundation aims to engage, energize and inspire people touched by diabetes through video-chats with celebrity patients. We will invite celebrity patients living with diabetes to share their inspiring story. This would involve musicians, athletes, and published authors.
Diabetes Hands Foundation runs a social network for people touched by diabetes(TuDiabetes.org) We have seen people with type 1 diabetes openly engaging online, while people with type 2 diabetes tend to lurk and stand by the sidelines of the conversation. Our video chat initiative hopes to change this by hosting monthly video chats of celebrity patients (musicians, athletes, authors, etc) living type 2. We would use technology to engage people with type 2 by implementing UStream video chats on the homepage of TuDiabetes.org. This will require a chat moderator to interview the celebrity and to field questions from the community. Video chats with medical professionals (attached) have done well. We hope to expand on that.
