Can a smartphone app improve diabetes care in seniors?
NCT ID NCT07591415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app helps elderly people (70+) with diabetes better control their blood sugar, maintain physical function, and improve quality of life. Sixty participants were split into two groups: one used the app, the other did not. The app was designed to be easy for seniors to use and aimed to reduce hypoglycemic episodes and support daily health management.
