Testimonials

“[the avatar] represented the change that you were going to make in your life towards the diabetes,” and “[Having an avatar] was absolutely cool because you got to be…whomever you wanted. You could change your outfit, your hair, you could be…you could weigh anything you wanted.”

-Participant from Women in Control 1.0 Pilot Study, 2010

“You don’t feel like you’re alone anymore…even though you were at home…you still weren’t alone because the avatars were walking around.”
