About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Digital Intervention for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

This study aims to perform a digital intervention in patients with type 2 diabetes to analyze the efficacy of the digital intervention Adhera® Fatigue Digital Program in order to improve diabetes self-management and improve clinical outcomes, including chronic condition-related fatigue. This will be done through a randomized clinical trial in 3 of the main health centers in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.

The digital health intervention is designed to be used for approximately 3 months. The study will enroll 150 participants (75 in control group and 75 in experimental group) who are patients with type 2 diabetes. There will be educational contents and personalized motivational messages through the Adhera Health Recommender System.

Read the detailed description

Adhera® Fatigue Digital Program (or AFDP) T2D adaptation is a digital health program based on behavioral and emotional change techniques that provides support to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The digital health solution is designed to be used for a period of 3 months and includes a mobile application that provides educational content and sends messages about 10 diabetes mellitus care areas with the aim of improving the quality of life of patients and therefore avoiding the occurrence of complications associated with the disease.

This is a clinical trial with 75 participants in the experimental intervention group and 75 in the control group, which will be carried out in 3 Primary Care Health centers in the City of Xalapa Veracruz, called Marabroto Center, Revolution Center and Miguel Alemán Center.

The researchers will focus on evaluating the main study variables to determine the changes in the indicators in glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference and use of coping strategies.

The efficacy of the digital intervention will be measured in 2 ways: 1) Through the analysis of each of the study variables, where its decrease or increase represents that it was effective for the control of each indicator analyzed individually, and 2) Through the binary logistic regression model where all the variables of the study as a whole are analyzed and it is determined if the digital intervention had a global efficacy.

We believe that since it is a multifactorial disease, different variables that intervene in the complications of diabetes mellitus should be studied and not exclusively one single primary endpoint.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Hb1Ac)

    The parameter will be measured in % reported in the control cards of the Health Centers where a normal level is <5.7%, prediabetes is between 5.7% to 6.4% and diabetes is above 6.5%. In patients with DM, 6 to 7% is a desired level, 7.1 to 8.5% is a moderate risk, 8.5 to 10% is a high risk, and 10% or more is a very high risk for the appearance of complications (WHO, 2021). This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac)

    The parameter will be measured in % reported in the control cards of the Health Centers where a normal level is <5.7%, prediabetes is between 5.7% to 6.4% and diabetes is above 6.5%. In patients with DM, 6 to 7% is a desired level, 7.1 to 8.5% is a moderate risk, 8.5 to 10% is a high risk, and 10% or more is a very high risk for the appearance of complications (WHO, 2021). This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Month 3

  3. Triglycerides

    Triglycerides will be measured as an indicator of fat metabolism based on the fatty acid count (GPC, 2018). Its values are classified as normal <150 mg/dL; high limit of 150 to 199 mg/dL; high from 200 to 499 m/dL and very high 500 mg/dL and more. This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Triglycerides

    Triglycerides will be measured as an indicator of fat metabolism based on the fatty acid count (GPC, 2018). Its values are classified as normal <150 mg/dL; high limit of 150 to 199 mg/dL; high from 200 to 499 m/dL and very high 500 mg/dL and more. This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Month 3

  5. Total Cholesterol

    Total cholesterol, which includes lipoproteins of different density in the body, will be assessed (GPC, 2018). Its values are classified as normal when they are <200 mg/dL; intermediate high when they are between 200 and 239 mg/dL and high when they are above 240 mg/dL. This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Total Cholesterol

    Total cholesterol, which includes lipoproteins of different density in the body, will be assessed (GPC, 2018). Its values are classified as normal when they are <200 mg/dL; intermediate high when they are between 200 and 239 mg/dL and high when they are above 240 mg/dL. This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Month 3

  7. Body Mass Index

    It will be measured on the scale proposed by the WHO with the formula weight (kg) / height2 (mts) with the following categories: underweight <18.5; normal weight of 18.5-24.9; overweight: 24.9-29.9 and obesity >30. This parameter will be retrieved from the site's health record of the study participants.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Use of health services

    The instrument to assess the use of health services during the last 3 months is entitled "Questionnaire on the use of health services attributable to diabetes mellitus" from Betz Brown et al., (2014) and does not have a representative scale, it only provides the number of times you have attended emergency services in the last 90 days. Ideally, a patient with DM under control should not go to the emergency or hospitalization services.

  2. Use of health services

    The instrument to assess the use of health services during the last 3 months is entitled "Questionnaire on the use of health services attributable to diabetes mellitus" from Betz Brown et al., (2014) and does not have a representative scale, it only provides the number of times you have attended emergency services in the last 90 days. Ideally in a patient with DM under control should not go to the emergency or hospitalization services.

    Measured: Month 3

  3. Usability

    It explores the degree to which a user evaluates the characteristics of the intervention, such as ease of use, simplicity, efficiency, information and user interface. It is supported by the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) from Hedlefs et al., (2016) and is classified as <28 points is deficient; 29-56 points is acceptable; 57-84 points is good and 85-112 points is favorable.
