Can a fitbit and AI texts get sedentary diabetes patients moving?
NCT ID NCT07005362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether giving people with type 2 diabetes a Fitbit and sending them personalized text messages from an AI chatbot can help them become more active and improve their health. Thirty-six sedentary adults will wear the Fitbit daily for 12 weeks and receive weekly exercise tips. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
