AI takes on diabetes: could a smartphone app beat standard care?
NCT ID NCT06957093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) smartphone app can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar better than regular doctor visits. About 400 adults will either use the AI app to get personalized diet, exercise, and medication advice, or receive standard care. The main goal is to see if the AI group has lower blood sugar levels after 48 weeks.
