- Original description
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual health coaching program based on artificial intelligence (AI) in improving blood sugar control among people with type 2 diabetes in primary health care settings in Jeneponto and Bantaeng, Indonesia. The intervention will be delivered through the DIACOACH application, which provides personalized coaching, lifestyle guidance, and self-care support. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving virtual health coaching for 12 weeks, or the control group, receiving standard diabetes education. Main outcomes include fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels. Other outcomes include self-care adherence, dietary behavior, and quality of life. This trial seeks to provide evidence on whether AI-based virtual coaching is a practical and effective digital health solution to support diabetes self-management in community health settings with limited resources.Read full original descriptionShow less
