Objectives• Review fundamentals of diabetes, health literacy, and mobile health (mHealth)• Explore decision points that informed study design in this research-in-progress interventional SMS study• Discuss hurdles experienced and future directions

$174 billionannual cost burden of diabetes Popul Health Metr 2010;8:29.

Health Literacy “degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, andunderstand basic healthinformation and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” Healthy People 2010

Pew Internet Mobile Access 2010 Hispanics use their phone to go online and to text more frequently than any other group**English-speaking Hispanics

Primary Study Objective Improve medication adherence indiverse, underinsured population in USA with T2DM via text message reminders

Secondary Study Objective Examine predictive potential of health literacy for adherence

Why choose simple SMS as an intervention?GoLiveSMS

Methods (aka why did wemake the decisionswe did in the study)

Randomized, open-label trialAllocation method where all subjectshave equal chance of study groupassignment

Detect a significantdifference (two treatment arms)

Consumers would most prefer to receive a medication reminder via: Phone call 1.3 Buzzing drug vial 2.5 Email 15.2 19.5 Phone alarm 20.3 App 41.1 Text message/SMS 0 20 40 60 80 100 PercentSource: Consumer Health Information Corporation, April 2011 (n=395)

People will stop doing almost anything to check their text messages

Hot-Button Issues• Will privacy and legal challenges stifle innovation and the delivery of mobile-mediated care to at-risk patient populations?• Could better decisions have been made about study design given the available information at the time?• Will our research result in findings consistent with our research hypotheses and mHealth model assumptions?
