Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test an accessible and inclusive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted, individualized, family-focused lifestyle modification intervention (AI4DM) for glycemic control in people with disabilities.

Detailed description

The AI4DM study will use a two-arm randomized control trial design. Eligible and consented participants will be assigned to one of two groups: 1) AI4DM intervention group with telecoaching support, and 2) attention-control group. The active intervention period will include six months of weekly and bi-weekly telecoaching calls followed by six months of follow-up and technology access, but no telecoaching calls.

Conditions

• Diabete Type 2
• Disability Physical

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	AI4DM	Those in the AI4DM intervention arm will receive weekly and bi-weekly calls for six months, access to home and online technology, diabetes-related multimedia educational content, a technology package including a voice-assistive device, wireless glucometer, and wrist-worn activity monitor
BEHAVIORAL	Attention-control	Those in the Attention-control Group will receive telecoaching calls at the same frequency of the Intervention Group. Coaching calls will focus on general wellbeing, rather than diabetes-related topics. The Attention-control Group will serve as an untreated comparison group for the Intervention Group.
