Summary

This study will test the weight loss efficacy of a mobile diabetes prevention program intervention. Half of the sample of prediabetic adults will receive the virtual DPP and half will receive usual medical care.

Detailed description

There were 84.1 million people with pre-diabetes, 30.3 million people with diagnosed and 7.2 million with undiagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2015, and nearly 2 million are diagnosed with it every year. By 2050, the CDC estimates that 1 in every 3 people globally will have diabetes, a leading cause of death and disability. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Noom Coach Diabetes Prevention Program mobile platform versus usual medical care. The best intervention to date for prediabetes is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Diabetes Prevention Program, yet there is limited research investigating a mobile-based delivery of the DPP. Pre-diabetes is often discovered during routine medical visitation/annual screening (usual care), but face-to-face time with clinicians is often limited. Exploring novel ways, such as mHealth interventions to empower patients to pursue lifestyle change and prevent or delay diabetes onset is critical to addressing the growing diabetes epidemic.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Noom Coach DPP	Subjects receiving the smartphone app will receive the DPP core curriculum for 16 weeks and then the post-core curriculum for 36 weeks through the app. The Noom mobile app allows secure patient monitoring through a participant dashboard that the coach can use to increase patient adherence and motivation to achieve DPP goals. The participant can log their food intake, weight, steps, exercise, in addition to participating in the DPP group interaction through the application.
