Signature Work Project Overview

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and complex disease that affects millions of people globally, with an increasing prevalence and incidence. It is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and impaired insulin secretion, leading to severe complications such as cardiovascular and kidney diseases. eHealth provides cost-effective and secure use of information and communications technologies to support health and health-related fields. eHealth interventions can help to manage type 2 diabetes by improving access to care, providing personalized care, increasing patient engagement, promoting flexibility, and other related aspects. It encompasses several sub-domains of digital health, such as telemedicine, mHealth, web-based programs, and electronic health records, and can improve glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes. This study assessed the effectiveness of eHealth technologies interventions in type 2 diabetes management comprehensively.
