Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Study Purpose:

This study aims to prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases through digital mobile apps by encouraging lifestyle changes. As part of the study, we aim to test the effectiveness of various mobile phone applications in the primary prevention of diabetes.



Specific objectives of the study are as follows: 

1. Identify and evaluate currently available mobile applications for prevention of T2D and CVD amongst South Asians using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) tool.

2. Develop two applications (apps) locally in association with an app developer.

3. Pilot Test the two newly developed applications and one or two applications from the commercial sector against primary end-points such as app usability, preferences, engagement, along with secondary end points like weight loss and/or inch loss and change in behaviour (step count/calorie intake etc.)  


From the pilot study, we hope to develop a novel innovative application that can be tested on a larger scale in a randomised clinical trial mode. We have built this as our future work once we complete the pilot study.  Overall we expect that the digital study will provide a robust evidence base for efficient, effective and scalable m-health interventions to prevent T2D and CVD amongst South Asians
