Brief Summary

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

This research study will test how a computer program (called the Hope App) teaches diabetes care skills for older adults with diabetes. The study will compare those who receive diabetes education (10 educational modules and monthly health coaching) through the research program with those who receive care as usual.

Detailed Description

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

The Hope App offers a simple, high-impact, engaging, and immersive telehealth experience with the potential to become a ubiquitous diabetes management tool to transform diabetes patients into high performing drivers of their own care.

The research team aims to scale the platform, develop features that are important to aging adults, and run a clinical trial to validate the Hope App's health benefits.

* Specific Aim 1: Develop the Hope App's state-of-the-art immersive patient engagement experience with automated onboarding, social networking and gamified DSME/S features to support long-term patient retention. In doing so, usability testing will be performed to ensure patient-facing features on the platform and patient-facing content and curriculum materials are functioning and well received by participants.
* Specific Aim 2: Develop the Hope App's predictive analytic capabilities for population health management.
* Specific Aim 3: Conduct a clinical validation trial of the Hope App intervention on six-month clinical outcomes (Hemoglobin A1c), patient reported outcomes (diabetes distress) and engagement outcomes (patient retention, adherence to self-care behaviors).

The research team intends to deliver a scalable Hope App platform with a usable patient engagement portal designed for older adults and achieve decreases in blood glucose levels (HbA1c) and depressive burden, and sustained patient engagement.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a wait-list control study design. Participants are assigned to one of two groups at random (intervention and wait list) for 6 months. After 6 months, participants in the wait list group are able to receive the intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate Treatment Group (ITG)

ITG participants receive access to the Hope App, a newly designed immersive learning and telehealth application designed to deliver engaging diabetes care and self-management education and support for older adults with diabetes.

ITG participants also complete data collection (surveys and HbA1c measurements) at baseline, 3 months after baseline, and 6 months after baseline.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hope App immersive learning and telehealth platform

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

As part of the Hope App intervention, participants attend 10 skills sessions related to diabetes self-management. ITG participants will also receive monthly health coaching calls. After 6 months of active participation, participants enter a maintenance period, during which programming concludes but continued access to the program materials remains.

Wait List Control (WLC)

WLC participants receive care as usual for 6 months. They will complete data collection (surveys and HbA1c measurements) at baseline, 3 months after baseline, and 6 months after baseline.

After 6 months, WLC participants will gain access to the Hope App and receive diabetes programming and health coaching for the remaining 6 months.
