Summary

This trial will test a low-cost AI-assisted lifestyle intervention for diabetes in rural areas, which is delivered via landline phone. It will provide knowledge to develop an optimal intervention package in the future.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Type 2 Diabetes, who speak and read English, have a doctor's approval to join, and HbA1c levels between 7% to 10.5%. It's not for those pregnant or planning pregnancy, in another diabetes study, on insulin treatment, with recent renal failure or major heart events.
What is being tested?
The study tests an AI-assisted lifestyle change program aimed at controlling blood sugar in rural areas via regular phone service. Participants receive either automated or human health coaching weekly with varying reward systems to see which method works best.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve lifestyle modifications through coaching rather than medication, typical medical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or frustration if they find it difficult to adhere to the program.
