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 Care Tools are available for particularly difficult moments along the way.
