Trial summary

Ubiquitous healthcare service for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes have been developed and improved glycemic control. However, previous U-healthcare service had some limitations, which needs specific devices to check blood glucose and send it to central system. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open, Parallel-group, Randomized, Interventional Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Voice Inception Technique Based U-healthcare Service in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Ubiquitous healthcare service for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes have been developed and improved glycemic control. However, previous U-healthcare service had some limitations, which needs specific devices to check blood glucose and send it to central system. Voice inception technique based U-healthcare service is expected to improve glycemic control without specific devices.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of this system, researchers plan to compare the improvement of glycemic control, self-management, and quality of life between U-health care group (intervention) and conventional treatment group (control).

Read the detailed description

Ubiquitous healthcare for chronic disease such as diabetes is intensively developing field. Nowadays, various methods are tried to find the most effective and easiest way for supplying U-health care.

Here, researchers are going to investigate the efficacy and safety of voice inception technique based U-healthcare service.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing U-health care in people with Diabetes, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of HbA1c (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01891474, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2015.
