Official title
Motivation Psychology-based Smart Engagement System for Improved Older Adult Chronic Disease Management
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In 2010, 25.8 million people in the US, or 8.3% of the population were reported to have diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is especially prevalent among older adults: 26.9% of people 65 years or older have diabetes with 50% being pre-diabetic. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney disease and lower-limb amputation among older adults, and is also a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, diabetes and its related complications are very amenable to lifestyle changes. Engagement with healthcare providers can significantly affects behavior and disease management of practices of individuals as does social engagement. The use of mobile technology and better engagement with providers and peer support networks may support diabetes self-care management. Individual patient personality attributes may affect the success of technology interventions. In this study, the investigators propose to design and test a motivation psychology-based smart engagement system (MOSES), which is a software application on a digital tablet device. The pre-loaded tablets will be provided to adults with T2DM (age 60+ with high glucose). The software will allow the patients to record diabetes self-care activities (exercise, glucose, nutrition, medication adherence), pursue goals, support communication between the patient and a health coach, support communication between peer patients, and visualize health status more easily by patients and providers. This research program will enroll 88 patients (4 intervention groups of 12 persons each and a 40-person control group) in a 90-day pilot study to test and refine the design of the application and its effectiveness in supporting care plan goals. Primary Aim 1: Design, implement, and optimize a motivation psychology-based smart engagement system (MOSES) for older adults with diabetes. Secondary Aim 2: Determine if providing older adult diabetic patients to care managers and peers via a digital tablet-based software application leads to improved diabetes management as measured by blood glucose control. Secondary Aim 3: Refine the personality attributes used to tailor the interaction with the application.
