Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Aim 1:Insights into digital health inequities embedded within existing research within the field of diabetes Aim 2: The barriers and facilitators to equitable utilization of mHealth and telehealth in primary care among type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in India. Timepoint: End of the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
This study will provide critical contextual data on the barriers and facilitators to telehealth utilisation by populations who are traditionally understudied and underrepresented in digital health interventions (DHIs). The results will be compared to existing guidelines for DHI development and practices to identify current gaps. These will inform key recommendations to practitioners, policy makers and researchers on how to create and deliver equitable telehealth interventions aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The results from our study will help inform the design, implementation and resourcing of equitable telehealth CVD prevention interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Timepoint: End of the study
