The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a mobile application diabetes prevention program delivered with microlearning and microcoaching.
Patients with prediabetes who are interested in joining a diabetes prevention program will be randomized to either the mobile application diabetes prevention program or the traditional diabetes prevention program, which is delivered as a mixed program of in-person and virtual sessions. Study participants in the mobile application version will download the Health U app from the Apple application store. The user will complete the daily microlearning modules and the health coach interactions within the Health U application. The 12-month diabetes prevention program will follow the widely clinically-validated CDC Get Active to Prevent T2 curriculum. For participants participating in the in-person version, they will complete the diabetes prevention program, which meets in-person and virtually approximately once every two weeks.
