Overview
Brief Summary
The overall goal of this research program is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care program. In this study, we examine the feasibility of such a program, called the Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care (TECC) for type 2 diabetes designed to support patients with diabetes and mental health concerns during COVID-19.
Detailed Description
There is growing concern regarding the impact of COVID-19 and social isolation on mental health and wellbeing, particularly adults living with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), who are at greater risk for mental health issues than the general population. Self-management education and support for healthy eating, physical activity, glucose monitoring, medication adherence and problem solving are vital components of diabetes care. Due to social distancing and limited care and resources, that are likely to persist in the post pandemic phase other innovative service models should be developed and adopted to improve service delivery. The overall goal of this research program is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care program. In this study, we examine the feasibility of such a program, called the Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care (TECC) for T2DM designed to support patients with diabetes and mental health concerns during COVID-19.
