We are thrilled to share the Pilot Study Report of the IDHEApp project – a key milestone in our mission to promote healthy lifestyles among adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through technology.

✅ What did we learn?

• Gamification works: badges and challenges motivate healthy habits.
• Technology can be inclusive when co-designed with users.
• Usability matters: simplifying smartwatch integration and app navigation is essential.

The pilot confirmed the potential of IDHEApp to encourage physical activity, better nutrition, and reduce sedentary behaviour. It also highlighted areas for improvement, such as clearer pictograms, customizable challenges, and stronger caregiver support.

This is more than a report – it’s a roadmap for scaling up and making digital health accessible for all.
