The Adaptation, Usability, and Feasibility of a Mobile Health (mHealth) System to Improve Type 2 Diabetes Self-management in Thailand

Patients will receive weekly automated IVR telephone calls for 12 weeks to assess their glycemic symptoms, medication adherence, dietary consumption, physical activity, sleep, and foot care. These 5-10 minute calls will follow a standardized Thai language IVR script developed specifically for this study.

Nurses will also receive a technical troubleshooting guide, and have similar access to live telephone technical support. Once their patients' calls begin, nurses will begin receiving weekly e-mail reports summarizing each patients' assessment results, any active self-management problems the patients reported, and suggested strategies for supporting the patient's self-management.
