mHealth app using machine learning to increase physical activity in diabetes and depression: clinical trial protocol for the DIAMANTE study.
In this randomized controlled trial, the researchers’ goal is to examine the effect of a text-messaging smartphone application to encourage physical activity in low-income ethnic minority patients with comorbid diabetes and depression. They will compare passively collected daily step counts, self-reported PHQ-8 and most recent hemoglobin A1c from medical records at baseline and at intervention completion at 6-month follow-up. They plan to submit manuscripts describing their user-designed methods and testing of the adaptive learning algorithm and will submit the results of the trial for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific meetings.

Design and rationale of the STRIVE trial to improve cardiometabolic health among children and families.
The researchers described the design and rationale for the Study for using Technology to Reach Individual Excellence (STRIVE), which incorporates patient-generated mobile health technology (mHealth) data on health behaviors and provides clinical recommendations to help manage cardiometabolic risk and disease (CMRD) among at-risk families. They concluded that the STRIVE trial will test the use of mHealth to improve health behaviors among families at-risk for or with established CMRD.
