Diabetes Data-Assisted Remission Trial (DDART)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity

In brief

The study team will study the efficacy of a high intensity medical weight loss intervention paired with a digital platform to create weight loss and induce remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to a diabetes self-management education intervention. The digital platform provides the capability to tailor the treatment plan, provide automated support, and alert providers when a participant may need more support from the clinical team. If shown to be efficacious, this research could be highly impactful, causing us to rethink our approach to care for those with T2DM and shift the paradigm for millions of individuals in the United States. Furthermore, this approach will demonstrate the feasibility of helping people engage in metabolic treatment strategies in a way that is scalable leveraging digital and mobile solutions that extend the patient-provider relationship, shift care from episodic approaches to more of an on-going model that extends into the life of the patient, while also integrated within the healthcare system workflows.
