Technology-Enabled Nursing for Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure
(EXTEND Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial investigates if using mobile devices to monitor health and getting support from nurses can help people with poorly controlled diabetes and high blood pressure who haven't improved with regular treatments.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the study involves monitoring diabetes and hypertension, it's likely you will continue your current treatment.
Is the Technology-Enabled Nursing program safe for humans?
The studies reviewed focus on nurse-led smartphone and mobile health programs for diabetes management, which generally involve safe practices like self-management education and monitoring. These programs have been used in real-world settings without reported safety concerns, suggesting they are generally safe for human use.12345
What makes the EXTEND treatment for Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure unique?
The EXTEND treatment is unique because it integrates technology with nursing care to enhance patient self-management and monitoring, similar to the HeartCareII model for cardiac patients. This approach uses web-based resources and telemonitoring to support patients in managing their conditions, which is different from traditional treatments that may not involve such technology-driven support.678910
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment EXTEND, EXTEND-Monitoring, EXTEND-Nursing, EXTEND Plus for type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure?
Research shows that nurse-led and technology-assisted programs can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better, improve their quality of life, and reduce complications. These programs often involve nurses using technology to guide patients in managing their health, which has been effective in improving blood sugar control and overall health outcomes.511121314
