Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 65 or older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and at least one additional chronic condition who can use the app and complete RedCap surveys.

Probably not a fit

Patients with limited access to mobile devices or those who cannot use English-language tools may not benefit.

What this trial studies

The trial examines the feasibility of adapting and using the Fabla-diabetesMM audio diary app with 30 older adults who have diabetes and at least one other chronic condition. It also looks at whether using the app influences self-management outcomes. The study uses REDCap surveys alongside the audio diary to capture usability and health-management data. This research aims to describe how multimorbidity affects daily diabetes management and the patient experience. The setting is Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, led by Emory University.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could help patients better track symptoms and behaviors to support self-management.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work on multimorbidity has used data-driven approaches, with limited exploration of lived experience through patient-facing tools; this study tests a novel audio diary approach.
