Services
Collaboration and creative thinking are essential to developing solutions that work at the community level. Salma offers various services, from speaking to inspire change to projects that will empower individuals to control their diabetes.
Language and culturally specific dietary resources
Salma has designed her own products based on education, cultural specificity and behaviour change.
She offers project support to develop resources with other innovators to deliver educational resources, health technologies and solutions.
Salma's wide network means she connects people and organizations and gets projects off the ground.
Examples of her work include DigiBete, where she is developing country-specific content for children and families living with type one diabetes and focusing on communities from the South Asian, African, Arabic, Polish and Chinese communities.
Other examples include the development of essential films in multiple languages, the Carbs&Cals book and the app, MyWayDiabetes and KnowDiabetes (more project information can be found here).
