Stimulating therapy adherence with a personal support & care buddy
Budiyu is the digital care buddy that motivates continuous healthy behavior in chronic patients.
Budiyu adapts to patient needs in a threefold way: covering their personal, social and practical needs.
This holistic approach makes Budiyu an all-in-one solution for all chronic conditions.


Personal, practical and social
Budiyu answers a patient's lifestyle needs:
- a friendly diary listens to personal worries
- a lifestyle & therapy guide helps with daily challenges
- a care network of digital & physical buddies offers support
How does a digital support buddy stimulate therapy adherence?
A chronic patient has challenges besides the medical ones: balancing daily stress, struggling with acceptance, feeling misunderstood.
Challenges that lead to the inevitable neglect of taking one’s medication.
Budiyu meets the patient in between medical care, supporting them from appointment to appointment. It answers the need for social support, lifestyle coaching and other questions their doctor can’t answer.
With its ever-accessible support system and well-timed gentle reminders, Budiyu keeps patients on track to a healthy lifestyle.

The steps to developing
a holistic patient solution
Bringing together the team
The workgroup consists of 6-8 participants of the most important stakeholders.
This means the project team, the end users and, potentially, externals such as ethicists and healthcare professionals.
Game Ready Workshop
Together with the team of stakeholders, we
- define our goals and design criteria
- come up with ideas
- draft the first prototype
in a day-long creative workshop.
Development & testing
A prototype becomes a MVP, shaped by choices made with the whole team.
Development is an iterative process: we build, test and apply our learnings to the next round.
Implementation
The finished product is implemented and ready for use.
We provide training to ensure long-term use and enjoyment of the product.
