Efficacy and Safety of Voice Inception Technique Based U-healthcare Service in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

October 23, 2015 updated by: Soo Lim, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

An Open, Parallel-group, Randomized, Interventional Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Voice Inception Technique Based U-healthcare Service in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Ubiquitous healthcare service for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes have been developed and improved glycemic control. However, previous U-healthcare service had some limitations, which needs specific devices to check blood glucose and send it to central system. Voice inception technique based U-healthcare service is expected to improve glycemic control without specific devices.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of this system, researchers plan to compare the improvement of glycemic control, self-management, and quality of life between U-health care group (intervention) and conventional treatment group (control).
