NCT ID NCT06419816
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called WellCheck, linked to patients' electronic health records, can improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight in people with type 2 diabetes. About 471 adults will use the app either with their doctor's guidance or on their own. The main goal is to see if blood sugar levels improve after 24 weeks.

Active substance
WellCheck smartphone application
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that linking a smartphone app with doctors helps people with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic trial testing an app, not a new drug, so the impact may be modest. The app requires patients to be comfortable using smartphones, which may limit who benefits.
