Abstract

Abstract Body

Using Digital Technology for Diabetes Prevention Delivery and Engagement

Despite medical and technological advances in diabetes care, the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise. It is becoming critically important to use technology not only to improve diabetes management but also for delivery and engagement in Lifestyle Change Programs for the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Based on the Diabetes Prevention Program and the DPPOS, intense lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss decreased the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 58% at study’s end and had a long-lasting risk reduction of 25% by 22 years.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) in the United States is a widely available Lifestyle Change Program for people with prediabetes with the goal of 5% weight loss, improvement in food quality and quantity to promote weight loss and an increase in physical activity. Technology can improve access to the program, delivery, engagement, and effectiveness of the National DPP. This seminar will discuss how to use technology to deliver the National DPP, best practices around synchronous delivery and engagement, how asynchronous delivery can augment the program, and how digital technologies can support effectiveness.
