Brief Summary

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

Digital health interventions have the potential to help patients with diabetes effectively manage their disease at home. Many digital health studies provide patients with educational materials and self-care recommendations. The digital health interventions allow patients to conveniently access these materials on their phones or computers, and enable care teams to provide essential knowledge for diabetes management. Digital health based education intervention is a reasonably inexpensive method that offers high coverage and motivational encouragement to help patients improve their health at home.This study aims to provide patients with timely education for diabetes management and has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients with diabetes.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a prospective, randomized control, pragmatic trial of patients with diabetes, including patients newly diagnosed with diabetes and patients with uncontrolled diabetes. This study focuses on delivering educational materials through the MyChart Care Companion pathway to conduct timely educations and assess patient medication adherence level and activity level. This is a minimal risk study without intervention procedures.

There are two Type 2 Diabetes subjects groups uncontrolled diabetes and new diabetics. Each group will be randomized 1 to 1 to either the Care Companion program or control group which receives a one-page document on diabetic care. The Care Companion program is a digital interactive weekly program that includes modules on health and nutrition education and weekly activity and medication adherence check-ins. There are weekly modules that are completed over 16 weeks.

The objective is to provide timely education to patients with type 2 diabetes through MyChart Care Companion pathway, with the aim of improving patient's self management knowledge. We will also evaluate patient experience and acceptance of the MyChart Care Companion features.

MyChart Care Companion is an interactive, individualized plan of care delivered to at-risk patients through user-friendly, accessible technology. Care Companion is a digital health pathway housed within EPIC. Care Companion features are integrated into the existing MyChart mobile app, which is part of Epic, and is available for iOS and Android devices. The interactive plan of care delivers notifications to patients' phones, prompts patients to complete educational session in the mobile app, analyzes questionnaire responses and patient-reported data, and orchestrates changes to the plan and escalations as needed to help patients, their caregivers, and care managers stay on top of the patient care. In addition to mobile phone, patients can also now access MyChart Care Companion on webpages via computers. The automated pathway assigns patient interactive health education materials during the study.
