Exploring Decentralized Glucose and Behaviometric Monitoring of Persons with Type 2 Diabetes in the Setting of a Clinical Trial
Authors' conclusion
Use of DCT design elements to conduct a T2DM study is feasible regarding recruitment, data collection from various electronic devices, and participant engagement.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with T2D recruited through a pharmacy and online (Facebook advert) for 3 weeks of glucose and behaviometric monitoring
- Participants
- 26 patients
- Comparison
- Pharmacy vs Online
- Pharmacyn = 3
- Onlinen = 23
- Outcome
- Feasibility of Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) design elements to recruit, enroll and engage patients with T2D
- Follow-up
- 3 weeks
