NCT02949037

Brief Summary

Multi-site feasibility study designed to assist type-2 diabetes patients in self-care activities. The study includes Bluetooth-enabled medical devices (i.e. scales, blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, and activity monitors) for both intervention and control groups. Those in the intervention group will have the devices linked too a mobile health care environment that provides key benefits that include: device data trending, reinforcing tailored behavioral messages, and enhanced communication with the clinic.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient Activation Measure (PAM)

    PAM is a validated survey measure of patient activation

    Every 3 months during the 12-month trial

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C)

    Every 4 months during 12-month trial

  • Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL)

    Every 4 months during 12-month trial

  • High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)

    Every 4 months during 12-month trial

  • Abdominal circumference

    Every 4 months during 12-month trial

  • Blood pressure

    Every 4 months plus patient self-measurement during 12 -month trial

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Use of (4) bluetooth-enabled biomedical devices (i.e. scale, blood pressure cuff, activity monitor, glucose monitor), for use in self care activities, integrated with the mobile health care environment (MHCE) system. The MHCE system will provide tailored behavioral messages triggered by clinical values and survey responses.

Other: Mobile Health Care Environment (MHCE)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Use of (4) bluetooth-enabled biomedical devices (i.e. scale, blood pressure cuff, activity monitor, glucose monitor), for use in self care activities, NOT integrated with the mobile health care environment (MHCE) system.

Interventions

An integrated mobile health system modified to support type 2 diabetes self-care activities. Primary intervention includes visualization and trending of device outcomes AND tailored behavioral messages based on Patient Activation Measure scores.
