BeWell24: Smartphone-based Diabetes Prevention in the VA

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a national epidemic and current lifestyle programs and medications are not effectively managing the crisis. This project aims to test a novel smartphone-delivered intervention that simultaneously targets multiple health behaviors (i.e., sleep, sedentary behavior, physical activity,dietary intake) within clinical settings at a large Veteran Health Administration regional hospital. If effective, this project has potential for large-scale implementation nationwide through the VA healthcare system and broad applicability for other populations at T2D risk as well as other disorders.

You may qualify if…

• Veterans ages 18 and older
• Regularly use an appropriate Apple (iOS6 or higher) or Android (2.3 or higher) smartphone or tablet device

You may not qualify if…

• long distance or insufficient transportation to the Veterans hospital to make participation in quarterly visits difficult;
• severe personal, health, cognitive or psychological conditions that prevent participation or severely limit lifestyle changes
• limited physical mobility, untreated sleep disorder, or other underlying disorder that requires treatment or would make lifestyle change contraindicated
• current participation in other diet, weight loss, or lifestyle programs
