Results: During the 16-weeks, users reported a total 1270 blood sugar logs, 1527 food logs, 3202 activity logs, and 213 weight logs. Users initiated a total of 2880 chat messages with their coach. On average per user, 28.8 blood sugar logs, 34.7 food logs, 72.8 activity logs, and 4.8 weight logs. Conclusion: This study shows that DH can help healthcare providers generate patient self-reported clinical and lifestyle data between doctor visits, enabling the care team to personalize care based on patients lifestyle.
