Digital Health-Supported Lifestyle Change Programs to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Kate Kirley, Neha Sachdev, Kate Kirley, Neha Sachdev

Abstract

IN BRIEF Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed in people with prediabetes through participation in an intensive lifestyle change program (LCP), particularly one based on the Diabetes Prevention Program research study. Digital health offers opportunities to extend the reach of such LCPs and possibly improve on these programs, which traditionally have been delivered in person. In this review, we describe the current state of evidence regarding digital health-supported LCPs and discuss gaps in research and opportunities for future efforts.
