Article Synopsis
- Diabetes is a global chronic condition leading to significant health issues and economic costs, and the Gro Health app serves as a digital support tool for self-management in diabetes patients.
- The study evaluated self-reported health outcomes from Gro Health users with diabetes and prediabetes over a six-month period, using the EQ-5D questionnaire to measure changes in health status.
- Results showed that 84% of participants completed the assessment, indicating a significant improvement in their EQ-5D scores, reflecting a better quality of life after using the app.

No study has assessed the uptake of digital tools among patients awaiting their first appointment with a specialist weight management service.
