Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults 21 years and older with type 2 diabetes who are using or could use digital health tools.
✕Less likely to help
People not using digital health tools or those with conditions limiting technology use may see little benefit.
What this research studies
This project aims to use digital health technologies like continuous glucose monitoring, wearables, and mobile apps to create a seamless, data-driven care approach for adults with type 2 diabetes. The study will explore how AI can integrate data from multiple devices to support personalized treatment while reducing the burden on busy clinicians. Participants will engage with digital tools that track glucose, activity, and medications, with the goal of improving daily management and health outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience better glucose control and a lighter daily management load through smarter, integrated digital support.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests digital, AI-assisted health management can improve outcomes, but integration across platforms remains a key challenge.
