This Socio-Cognitive Engineering (SCE) space provides an overview of the foundation, specification and evaluation of the Personal Assistant for a healthy Lifestyle (PAL), i.e. the "design rationale", which has been developed in the PAL-project (www.pal4u.eu).

The project's aim was to develop a system that will assist the child, health-care professional and parent to advance the self-management of children with type 1 diabetes aged 7 – 14 so that an adequate shared patient-caregiver responsibility for the child’s diabetes regimen is established before adolescence.

This 4-year project involved the research partners TNO (NL), DFKI (GER), FCSR (IT), Imperial (UK) and Delft University of Technology (NL), the hospitals Gelderse Vallei and Meander Medical Center (NL), the Diabetics Associations of Netherlands and Italy, and SME’s Mixel (IT) and Produxi (NL).

It has been co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union under grant agreement no. 643783.
