Telemedicine interventions have so far focused primarily on regular communication between patients and healthcare professionals, as well as the continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels. Physical activity plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes and supporting lifestyle modification in people with type 2 diabetes. There is a considerable need to develop and evaluate telemedicine interventions aimed at promoting physical activity.
Possible research question: Can supportive telemedicine interventions improve the long-term achievement of physical activity and exercise goals among people with non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes?
