Summary

This study builds upon the previously developed virtual health community platform, aiming to address the group characteristics and psychological traits of prediabetic patients. By employing intervention mapping to construct a group interaction management model, it seeks to develop a mobile platform integrating "gamified knowledge acquisition and motivation", "immersive lifestyle practice experiences", and "sustained community interaction management". The primary focus is on fostering patients' continuous and proactive engagement. Subsequently, a single-arm controlled trial will validate the model's efficacy, aiming to address the health management challenges faced by China's substantial prediabetic population. This initiative seeks to provide theoretical foundations and practical support for primary prevention strategies targeting other chronic diseases and at-risk cohorts.

Conditions

• Prediabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Pre-diabetes Virtual Community	By collecting general information, physical measurements, glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, dietary habits, and exercise routines from prediabetic patients, these details are input into the virtual community programme for prediabetes. The virtual community evaluates the input data, alerts healthcare professionals to patients requiring immediate intervention, and provides guidance for the forthcoming week regarding diet, exercise, and other health aspects (including dietary and exercise advice for prediabetic patients), alongside risk alerts.
