Effectiveness of a Lifestyle Improvement Support App in Combination with a Wearable Device in Japanese People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: STEP-DM Study.
Introduction: Although the use of application (app)s and wearable devices supporting diabetes treatment has spread rapidly in recent years, evidence of their impact, especially in combination of them, is limited. TOMOCO™ is a lifestyle improvement support app that features interactive virtual conversations according to the programmed algorithm guiding users toward their goals of lifestyle improvement. We hypothesized that TOMOCO™ in combination with Fitbit, which accurately tracks users' activity level, would encourage people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to change their lifestyles and improve their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels without changes in conventional therapy. Thus, we performed the present study to explore the effectiveness of this combination in Japanese participants with T2DM who had not achieved their glycemic targets.
Methods: In this single-arm exploratory study, participants with T2DM used the TOMOCO™ and Fitbit in addition to the conventional diet/exercise therapy and anti-diabetic drug for 12 weeks. They were provided with feedback/advice by health care providers based on the TOMOCO™ and Fitbit records. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline to the end of the observation period. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
Results: Fifty-nine (96.7%) of the 61 participants (male, 42 [71.2%]; age, 60.1 ± 8.7 years; HbA1c level, 7.48 ± 0.37% at screening) completed the study. At the end of the observation period, the HbA1c was significantly reduced (- 0.41 ± 0.41%, p < 0.001). This trend was consistent across the preselected patient characteristics, including sex, age, and body mass index. However, it was more pronounced in the participants with earlier stages of behavioral changes defined by the transtheoretical model at baseline.
Conclusions: The unique features of TOMOCO™ in combination with Fitbit, together with conventional therapy, may promote a healthy lifestyle and thus contribute to improving HbA1c in people with T2DM.
期刊介绍：
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
