Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Objectives: Taking a user-centric design approach, we developed a culturally tailored, theory-based mobile application (GDM-DH) for self-management and treatment of women with gestational diabetes (GDM) in a community-based university hospital in Nepal. In a pilot feasibility study among women with GDM, we evaluated the impact of our mobile app intervention on i) compliance with self-monitoring of glucose and blood pressure (BP) levels, and ii) proportion of glucose and BP readings with elevated values (above clinical target ranges), from recruitment to delivery.
