Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hypothesized main study outcomes are (1) an improvement in the intervention group in Type 1 Diabetes health outcomes: HbA1c values (measured with a finger prick) and glucose values (collected by a glucometer, as part of the standard diabetes management regime) of PAL 3.0 during phase 1. And (2) an improvement of diabetes knowledge (questionnaire). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The hypothesized secondary outcomes during phase 1 are (1) improvements in Diabetes-related Quality of Life (measured with the PedsQoL-DM questionnaire by both child and parent(s)), (2) self-management determinants and behaviour (measured with the Self-Care Inventory, SC, questionnaire and self-management goal achievement in the PAL-system), and (3) system usability (SUS, only intervention group). The expected outcome in phase 2 is a further improvement of the usability and use of the PAL-System V3.5, with additional features, in comparison to V3.0. | — |
