It is important for people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to engage in a physically active lifestyle, but it can be challenging to control blood glucose levels around exercise. Current exercise guidelines are not written for young people living with T1D and are difficult to access. Our Diabetes research team at Telethon Kids Institute have developed a mobile medical device health app in collaboration with young people living with T1D. This mobile health app enables users to receive personalised insulin and carbohydrate advice in relation to the exercise they plan to participate in. The advice is based on ISPAD (International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes) Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines. Before the mobile health app can be made available it needs to be TGA* certified.

So that the mobile medical device health app can be maintained and updated as new features and guidelines are released, a charge would be required for use of the app.
*TGA= The Therapeutic Goods Administration is the medicine and therapeutic regulatory agency of the Australian Government that ensures medical devices** are safe for the public to use.

**A medical device is any device intended to be used for medical purposes. It is intended to provide health benefits for the patient and is heavily regulated by the Department of Health.
To better understand the value of this mobile health app for children living with T1D, we would like to ask you several questions:

Question Title

* 1. How often would you be willing to pay for a certified TGA mobile health app that would allow your child/or yourself to exercise more and safer?
