Phase 3

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: Considering Indiaâ€™sever-growing rate of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), thinking beyond medical management of diseases is the idea behind this study. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)is one of the leading NCD of our country that requires constant care and medication. The medical management and diabetes self-management practices (DSM) are essential to keep T2DM under check. To add value to the existing practices and with an intention of popularize mHealth application among general population, this study is focusing on developing a customized mHealth model that will be integrated with Hospital Information System (HIS) to enable real time transfer of information between patientâ€™s module and doctorâ€™s module. The information saved on EHR will facilitate clinician to have a clear picture of the patientâ€™s diabetic history and accordingly treatment modification can be done. This self-documentation practice is an integral part of diabetes treatment and the study expects positive outcomes like better adherence to DSM practices and better treatment outcome. The outcome of the study will be beneficial in developing similar mHealth models for management of such diseases which will require intense care.
