NCT ID NCT07129148

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether wearable devices like continuous glucose monitors and smart bracelets, combined with smartphone apps, can help predict and prevent complications in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will enroll 6,000 adults and follow them for 3 months, using AI to analyze data from the wearables. The goal is to see if this technology can improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related health problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Wearable devices (CGM, smart bracelet) and smartphone mini-programs

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that AI and wearable tech help predict and reduce diabetes complications, leading to better remote management tools.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage observational study without a control group, so results may not prove cause and effect. The 3-month follow-up is short for seeing long-term benefits.
