Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the usability, utility and feasibility of the Diacare platform and the ability of users to use the platform and receive valuable information from it to help address the management of type 2 diabetes outside the healthcare environment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that increases the risk of patients suffering from heart disease, embolisms and microvascular complications such as blindness, kidney failure and peripheral neuropathies. In order to achieve an optimum level of independence in their self care, it is essential that type 2 DM patients take responsibility for the situation and be actively involved in the control of their health. Technology can solve some of the current challenges of chronic diseases such as type 2 DM, and in fact there are studies that suggest that chronic diseases can be more manageable with the support of mHealth. In this context, the Diacare platform has been designed with the idea of improving the self-management and self-care of patients with type 2 DM in a more personalized and individual way. The Diacare platform consists of an application, a fitbit wristband for activity monitoring and a web platform for professionals. This research project wants to evaluate the usability, utility and feasibility of the Diacare platform and the ability of users to use the platform and receive valuable information from it to help address the management of type 2 diabetes outside the healthcare environment. For this, a total of 35 patients and their respective health professionals will be recruited for the study and will use the DIACARE platform for 3 months. The results of this pilot will be collected through qualitative and quantitative data through the DIACARE platform and from questionnaires that will be administered to patients and professionals and will allow the evaluation of the technology developed.
