Supportive use of digital technologies during transition to adult healthcare for young people with long-term conditions, focusing on Type 1 diabetes mellitus: A scoping review.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the second most common chronic or long-term condition (LTC) affecting young people (YP); when transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare, young people with LTCs such as T1DM are expected to self-manage medication, diet and clinical appointments. This scoping review aimed to analyse research examining ways digital health technologies were used to support YP with LTCs during transition from paediatric to adult healthcare and to establish YP's needs, experiences and challenges when transitioning. We aimed to identify knowledge gaps and inform development of a novel chatbot with components such as avatars and linked videos to help YP with T1DM gain self-management confidence and competence during transition. Nineteen studies identified through searching five electronic databases were included in this review. A combination of digital health technologies was used to support transition of YP with LTCs to adult healthcare. Barriers to successful transition were reported and YP described the importance of social relationships and transition readiness and expressed the need for individualised interventions that acknowledge social factors such as work and college. No supportive chatbots with components to help YP with T1DM were identified. This contribution will inform future development and evaluation of such a chatbot

Placemaking in Rosemount Parks

Presentations and posters completed by students enrolled in URB 3751: Understanding the Urban Environment, taught by Paula Pentel in spring 2015.This project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between the City of Rosemount and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). Placemaking is a people-centered approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces, and it is important for building strong communities. The City of Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department is interested in using placemaking principles and processes to maximize the benefits of its parks, especially smaller, older parks that no longer hold strong appeal for the public. The goal of this project was to evaluate and identify opportunities for placemaking through redesign or redevelopment in seven parks in the City of Rosemount. In collaboration with city project lead Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Rosemount, a team of students in URB 3751: Understanding the Urban Environment reviewed placemaking best practices and recommended opportunities for placemaking in Biscayne Park, Chippendale Park, Claret Park, Dallara Park, Lions Park, Schwarz Pond Park, and Winds Park. A group presentation from the project is available highlighting placemaking principles and overall recommendations, in addition to a presentation for each of the seven parks. Posters are available on Biscayne Park, Chippendale Park, and Schwarz Pond Park.This project was supported by the Resilient Communities Project (RCP), a program at the University of Minnesota that convenes the wide-ranging expertise of U of M faculty and students to address strategic local projects that advance community resilience and sustainability. RCP is a program of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA).
