Telemedical interventions to support exercise and physical activity goals for people with type 2 diabetes

Project Lead: Alba Colicchia
Authors: Alba Colicchia, Lucia Gassner
Duration: Q1 to Q3 2026
Language: English (with German summary)

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?
