Innovative Approaches in Diabetes Care

In Taiwan, an estimated 2.3 million individuals have diabetes, with a 44% increase observed among young adults and adolescents. Poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles are major risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital eHealth care intervention for individuals with diabetes. Participants will be recruited from the Diabetes Shared Care Network and community care centers in Taiwan and followed for 12 months. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned by computer to either a control or an eHealth care group. • eHealth Group: Receives a 10-minute digital nutrition education session using the lab-developed "3D/AR MetaFood food portion education platform" (https://sketchfab.com/susanlab108/collections) and is required to submit weekly dietary records through food images using the "Formosa FoodAPP." Participants will receive immediate dietary feedback from nutritionists, followed by AI-generated personalized feedback on the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of their meals. They will also be provided with educational videos on healthy eating, ph…
