MAXIMISING THE POPULATION IMPACT OF DIGITAL SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE TYPE 2 DIABETES OUTCOMES

Abstract

My PhD research will determine how user engagement with a digital diabetes program improves sustained diabetes outcomes and which program features contribute most to this improvement within disadvantaged people with diabetes. In addition to ensuring that such programs are equitable and optimise health gains of all Australians with T2DM, findings from my research will also help realise the potential of this technology to be used to address other chronic illness management.
