Evaluation of a Web-Based Simulation Tool for Self-Management Support in Type 1 Diabetes: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop and evaluate a novel Web-based Simulation Tool (WST) that brings simulation technologies to people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), enabling unique patient-data interactions seamlessly on a daily basis.

Methods

A pilot clinical trial was conducted to assess system usability. The study consisted of one week of observation (Phase 1) and four weeks of interaction with WST (Phase 2). Responses to Technology Acceptance (TA) and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) questionnaires were collected, and follow-up interviews were conducted after Phase 2.

Results

Fifteen participants with T1D using Control-IQ technology (age: 36 ± 13 years, HbA1c: 6.5% ± 0.7%) completed all study procedures. Generated simulation models achieved a median Mean Absolute Relative Difference
