Mobile Phone Technologies and Diabetes: a Project for Self-Management and Education

  • Chapter
Reimagining Research for Reclaiming the Academy in Iraq: Identities and Participation in Post-Conflict Enquiry

Part of the book series: Studies in Inclusive Education ((STUIE,volume 15))

Abstract

One area of CARA’s attempt to support academics outside of Iraq while working to respond to urgent challenges facing the country has been in the area of health. This chapter explores key dimensions of an attempt to build a research and intervention project through harnessing mobile health technologies to respond to the urgent health imperative of diabetes. Perhaps more than other areas, this project highlights both the possibilities but also the challenges faced in our attempt to build new types of research intervention in a context shaped by the legacy and ongoing realities of war.
