The Effects of Continuous Usage of a Diabetes Management App on Glycemic Control in Real-world Clinical Practice: Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The efficacy of digital technology in improving diabetes management has typically been demonstrated through studies such as randomized controlled trials, which have reported a steeper reduction in hemoglobin A_1c (HbA_1c) values for patients who adopted a digital solution. However, evidence from real-world clinical practice is still limited.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital interventions by tracking HbA_1c improvements over 1 year in real-world clinical settings.

Methods

Patients used the Health2Sync mobile app to track self-measured outcomes and communicate with health care professionals (HCPs). HCPs used the web-based Patient Management Platform to monitor patient data, view test results fro
