Development of an information system and mobile application for the care of type 2 diabetes patients at the primary care level for the health sector in Mexico: study protocol for a randomized controlled, open-label trial.
Trials
April 2022
Article Synopsis
- Patients with type 2 diabetes often struggle with self-management due to barriers like lack of knowledge, individualized care, and poor communication with healthcare providers.
- The SANENT trial aims to compare a new diabetes management strategy using mobile technology against standard care in 1440 participants over one year, focusing on better diabetes control measured through HbA1c levels.
- The study's main analysis will evaluate changes in HbA1c levels among participants, using a mixed model approach to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
Purpose Of Review: The objective of this review was to summarize the current scientific evidence of mobile health technology in the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes in patients with prediabetes derived from randomized clinical trials.
Recent Findings: Few randomized clinical trials are available using mobile health technologies in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. There is heterogeneity in regard to the main study outcomes, duration of interventions, and study findings.
Objectives: To provide an overview about the current status of health technology assessment (HTA) implementation in Latin American countries and to identify long-term objectives considering regional commonalities.
Methods: We conducted a survey among participants of the 5th Latin American Future Trends Conference in October 2015. Thirty-seven respondents from eight Latin American countries provided insights about the current and preferred future status of HTA implementation related to human capacity building, HTA financing, process and organizational structure for HTA, scope of mandatory HTA, decision criteria, standardization of HTA methodology, mandating the use of local data, and international collaboration in HTA.
