Summary

This trial will help researchers study if mobile apps can improve health outcomes, specifically for type II diabetes, in low-income Hispanic populations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Hispanic individuals aged 18-64 with type II diabetes, a BMI of 27 or higher, and an annual income under $47,520. Participants must regularly monitor their blood glucose levels, have access to a weight scale and own a smartphone they can use to download health apps.
What is being tested?
The study tests if using mobile health applications can improve the health outcomes of low-income Hispanics with type II diabetes. Over six months, participants will weigh themselves daily and check blood sugar before and after meals.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves the use of mHealth apps rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct medical side effects expected. However, users may experience stress or frustration if technical issues arise.
