Findings from a 2020 study focused on people with type 2 diabetes using a Welldoc-powered digital health app with a blood glucose meter (n=291):
1.83 average A1c reduction for those with A1c > 8*
Diabetes related ER visits decreased by 30% and all-cause visits by 55%*
Decrease in costs from baseline to follow-up by 55%*
Average of ~30 digital engagements/week reflecting impact to self-management*
Welldoc is also researching the power of real-time data devices like CGM in combination with digital health. In a recent study, we evaluated this impact on glucose control for individuals with Type 2 diabetes not treated with insulin. The time in range (TIR) and glucose management indicator (GMI) improved significantly across subpopulations. Most significantly, one cohort showed a TIR increase of 32% and a GMI improvement of 1.4.
