Increasing consumer engagement by tailoring a public reporting website on the quality of diabetes care: a qualitative study.
The goal of this study was to determine if tailoring quality reports to persons with diabetes mellitus and co-occurring chronic conditions would increase user engagement with a website that publicly reports the quality of diabetes care. It concluded that tailoring can be used to improve public reporting sites for individuals with chronic conditions, ultimately allowing consumers to make more informed health care decisions.

The design, usability, and feasibility of a family-focused diabetes self-care support mHealth intervention for diverse, low-income adults with type 2 diabetes.
Through user-centered design and iterative usability/feasibility testing, the researchers developed a mobile Health intervention for disadvantaged adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) called FAMS. FAMS delivers phone coaching to set self-care goals and improve patient participant's (PP) ability to identify and address family actions that support/impede self-care. PPs reported FAMS increased self-care and both PPs and support persons reported FAMS improved support for and communication about diabetes.
