According to the Guardian, the UK National Health System (NHS) will offer wearable tech to help people monitor their health habits in order to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. In addition, using apps, the participants will have 24-hour access to health coaches and educational content; online peer support groups; and, the ability to set and monitor health goals electronically. The decision to implement such a programme comes following the results of a successful pilot, in which access to online information increased the number of people involved in the national Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP).
