The purpose of this study is to determine if a novel smartphone-based medication adherence platform accompanied by directed pharmacist intervention can improve A1c control and medication compliance in non-insulin dependent diabetics.
This study will employ a case-crossover design where patients will undergo both a standard of care arm as well as an intervention arm (See Figure 1). Half of the study participants will be randomized and enrolled in the standard of care arm for the initial 3 months and then transition to the intervention arm for 3 months. The remaining patients will be enrolled in the intervention arm for the initial 3 months and then transitioned to the standard of care arm. Primary outcomes will be the change from pre-intervention baseline in hemoblobin A1c (HgA1c) between the Dayamed Arthur platform and standard of care. Secondary outcomes will include change in MAS, the change in RMA from week 1 of intervention arm to week 12, comparison of historical MPR and PDC with patient's RMA at week 1 of intervention arm, and correlation of change in RMA and MAS score during intervention arm. Furthermore, we will measure sustained change in MAS in the patient population who begin study in the intervention arm and are subsequently transitioned to standard of care. We will also collect information patient usability/acceptability and provider satisfaction with the Dayamed Arthur platform. Exploratory outcomes will include potential reduction in healthcare resource utilization based on avoidance of therapy escalation in patients with improved compliance, as well as psychosocial factors associated with improved adherence Reduction of HgbA1c by 0.5% from pre-intervention baseline for individuals on the DayaMed intervention compared to standard of care
