Digital Individualized and Collaborative Treatment of T2D in General Practice Based on Decision Aid

"Based on the phenotyping and algorithms developed by the hospital specialists at Odense University Hospital and Holbæk Hospital in collaboration with GPs, the individual GPs and their patients will receive individualized recommendations on lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatments.~The GPs will receive specific clinical decision support (CDS) recommendations on what drugs to prescribe to each patient based on the phenotyping in accordance with a clinical decision support tool (Cambio) and the updated guidelines at all times (Sparrow 2019). The treatment advice to the GPs will be adjusted annually based on treatment effect, re-phenotyping, and updated knowledge of the treatment of T2D. Furthermore, psychiatric, socioeconomic and/or cultural challenges and other determinants for frailty will be a part of the individualized intervention provided to patients by the GPs, again based on the specialist advice."

As part of DICTA, the patients are offered a personal health coach (dietician, nurse, occupational therapist, or physiotherapist) through the complex eHealth intervention (Liva). Patients will receive personalized empathic, relation driven coaching on healthy lifestyle on the individual patient's preferences (e.g. increased physical activity, healthier diet, weight loss, smoking cessation, personal goal setting, tailored information, peer to peer support), including optimal pharmacological treatment (Komkova 2019). The collaborative eHealth tool will give health coaches access to patient registered outcome measurements (PRO), information. This forms the basis of the individual coaching and is partly supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the coaching by the health coaches (Holzinger 2016).

Data on physical activity, steps, diet goal fulfillment, smoking status etc., are being provided for GPs in a web-based solution integrated into the GPs' health record system. Integration with the GP system XMO (covering 52% of all Danish GPs) has been finalized.
