Usage Patterns of GlucoNote, a Self-Management Smartphone App, Based on ResearchKit for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preventing progression from prediabetes to diabetes-or slowing the progression of diabetes-is an urgent task worldwide. Previous studies have shown that mobile health (mHealth) may powerfully support self-management for patients with type 2 diabetes. Certainly, mHealth improves health care efficiency and gives patients convenient access to self-management of their own health. Many health care apps are available right now, and their use in clinical studies with large-scale real-life data is expected. However, the usage patterns of those apps-especially in the absence of intervention by medical professionals-remain unknown.

Objective

We developed GlucoNote, an app that uses Apple's ResearchKit to support self-management for patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabe
