Dear backers,
thank you so much for your contribution to this crowdfunding campaign. Just a year ago, providing education to South Africans through a chatbot was an idea – pitched by Bridget McNulty as a finalist in our DCB Open Innovation Challenge. Today, thanks to your support, it is now delivering expert diabetes and healthy living advice directly via WhatsApp!
On the occasion of World Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day, the chatbot was launched in both English and isiZulu. Accessible through the free Unu Health app, the Sweet Life Chatbot now provides simple, practical guidance on managing diabetes, healthy eating, exercise, and mental health.
We at DCB and the entire Sweet Life team headed by Bridget are so grateful for your contributions and bringing this idea to life.
