Living with a chronic illness is, above all, an emotional and mental challenge. You are suddenly confronted with many unfamiliar and challenging topics, uncertainties, fears, and you may often feel misunderstood. We would like to change this and support you on your journey.
We will tackle these topics together step by step. For greater quality of life, despite and with your illness.
Vila, your digital companion, will guide you through our Steps in short, pleasant conversations. You will acquire important methods, tools and tips for dealing with the specific topics and challenges related to living with your chronic illness.
In addition, our SOS Tools are available for particularly difficult moments along the way.
Within the Steps, you will often hear from Julia, our psychologist on the team. Julia has also been living with a chronic illness for a long time. She would like to introduce herself here:
The challenges are often similar, but your story is of course unique. Vila therefore responds flexibly and individually to your needs, addressing the topics that resonate with your experience of living with an illness.
