Pivotal Trial of a Digital Therapeutic for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes
In brief
BT-001 is a software program intended to help patients with type 2 diabetes, under the guidance of their physician, improve glycemic control (i.e., levels of blood sugar). The BT-001 software delivers a type of behavioral therapy to patients via a mobile application that targets behaviors related to achieving glycemic control. The effectiveness of BT-001 will be measured by its ability to help patients reduce Hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c (a marker in the blood that measures blood sugar) compared to standard medical care in patients with type 2 diabetes.
