The Digital Diabetes Patient Reminder (DIPAR) Tool For Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
Sponsor: KU Leuven
Summary
Digital health tools may present an opportunity to address these challenges by enhancing care delivery, improving patient engagement, and facilitating better disease management for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether the Diabetes Digital Patient Reminder (DIPAR), embedded in patient portal, can increase the proportion of T2DM patients who have their albuminuria measured at least once annually by either a general practitioner (GP) or a diabetes specialist, as documented in their hospital medical records (EMD), thereby reflecting active monitoring of diabetes-related parameters.

Digital Diabetes Patient Reminder Tool
\- Reminder function: participants will receive reminders that align with the minimal follow-up requirements in Belgium, when the HbA1c and albuminuria measurements are overdue o Notification schedule: HbA1c: First reminder after 7 months without a measurement; second reminder 4 weeks later if still overdue. Albuminuria: First reminder after 13 months without a measurement; second reminder 4 weeks later if still overdue. \- Consultation dashboard: this feature will allow the display selected diabetes clinical parameters in a visual and colorful display. The selected parameters are: HbA1c (%), LDL-C (mg/dl), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), albuminuria (mg/gACR), eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) and BMI (weight/lenght2). Furthermore, participants will be provided with a questionnaire that targets selfcare behaviors and are required to complete this before consultations with their diabetes-specialist or general practitioner.
Standard of Care treatment and follow-up
This allows for the control to group to receive only their routine consultation and follow-up care as provided by their diabetes specialist.
