A study from Lancaster University examined the impact of wearable mobile health technology on exercise adherence among recently diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes patients in Canada and the UK. Participants aged 40-75 utilized a smartwatch linked to a health app while following a home-based exercise program. The MOTIVATE-T2D trial saw an impressive 82% retention rate after 12 months, indicating that the technology significantly aided in sustaining exercise. Clinical outcomes included notable improvements in blood sugar levels and blood pressure, affirming the value of such interventions in enhancing lifestyle management of diabetes.
The results of this study can contribute to change the lives of many people around the world. There are millions of people suffering from Diabetes type 2 without access to non-pharmacological interventions with sustained results in the long term. Our study shows that independently of the place where you live, your age, your ethnicity, your gender, or your income, there is an exercise programme that suits you.
The study successfully recruited 125 participants with an 82% retention rate after 12 months, highlighting the impact wearable technology had on exercise adherence.
