Role of Digital Engagement in Diabetes Care Beyond Measurement: Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of remote data capture for monitoring blood glucose and supporting digital apps is becoming the norm in diabetes care. One common goal of such apps is to increase user awareness and engagement with their day-to-day health-related behaviors (digital engagement) in order to improve diabetes outcomes. However, we lack a deep understanding of the complicated association between digital engagement and diabetes outcomes.

Objective

We hypothesize that
