Mission of the project
Type 2 diabetes is a challenging disease that requires continuous management with medication and self-management, which often includes changes to diet, exercise, sleep, and other daily activities. However, diabetes impact varies between individuals and finding effective self-management routines can be challenging. T2 Coach mobile app helps individuals to track their daily activities and blood glucose levels. T2 Coach machine learning engine identifies activities that may cause spikes and drops in blood glucose, and makes recommendations for changes. T2 Coach chatbot helps individuals set personal goals, develop specific action plans, reflect on barriers to achieving goals, and track progress.
T2 Coach is a collaboration between the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University and Clinical Directors Network, Inc. It is funded by the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease research award R01DK113189.
