Assessing the Effectiveness of Digital Health Behavior Strategies on Type 2 Diabetes Management: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various mobile technologies and digital health interventions (DHIs) have been developed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. Strategies are crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of DHIs. However, there is currently a lack of categorization and summarization of the strategies used in DHIs for T2DM.

Objective

This study aims to (1) identify and categorize the strategies used in DHIs for T2DM management; (2) assess the effectiveness of these DHI strategies; and (3) compare and rank the efficacy of different strategy combinations on glycated hemoglobin A_1c (HbA_1c) levels, fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, BMI, and weight loss.

Methods

Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were extracted from PubMed, Web of Science, and
