Type 2 Diabetes
Conditions
Brief summary
Investigators will conduct a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of iMatter2 versus usual care on reduction in HbA1c at 12-months (primary outcome) among patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Interventions
Once the program begins, the AI chatbot sends daily text messages that include the PRO questions; a link to a library of educational resources tailored to their responses and personalized motivational messages with support. Participants will also be sent links to the interactive web-based dashboard that visualizes their daily PRO and HbA1c data. PCPs will be able to view reports of patients' PRO and A1c data through the EHR interface, which can be reviewed during visits with the patient or asynchronously to track patient PROs between visits.
