Your phone learns your diabetes needs: new study tests adaptive support
NCT ID NCT06828549
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a mobile phone program (MOSAIC) that changes over time to fit each person's needs, helping adults manage type 2 diabetes. About 547 participants will be assigned to either the phone program or printed materials for 16 months. Researchers will check blood sugar levels, diabetes distress, and well-being to see if the adaptive phone support works better than print alone.
