Exploring mHealth potential to improve kidney function: secondary analysis of a randomized trial of diabetes self-care in diverse adults.
This study examined whether REACH, a text message-delivered self-management support intervention, which focuses on medication adherence, diet, and exercise can significantly improve glycemic control in 506 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The authors used data from the trial to explore the intervention’s effect on change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGR) at 12 months in a subsample of 271 patients. Patients with proteinuria at baseline who received REACH had less worsening of eGFR.

Evaluation of patient willingness to adopt remote digital monitoring for diabetes management.
Investigators sought to identify the minimum effectiveness patients report they require to adopt 36 different remote digital monitoring (RDM) scenarios. Adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes living in 30 countries assessed three randomly selected scenarios from a total of 36 that described different combinations of digital monitoring tools. The investigators found that patients required greater health benefits to adopt more intrusive RDM modalities, food monitoring, and real-time feedback by a health care professional. They recommended that patient monitoring devices be designed to be minimally intrusive.

Mobile phone diabetes project led to improved glycemic control and net savings for Chicago plan participants.
Mobile phones are a promising tool to use in engaging patients in behavior change and facilitating self-care between visits. The researchers examined the impact of a six-month mobile health (mHealth) demonstration project among adults with diabetes. In addition to pre-post improvements in glycemic control and patients’ satisfaction with overall care, they observed a net cost savings of 8.8 percent.
