Clinical Research

Welldoc collaborated with the state of Montana and the Montana Diabetes Digital Health Learning Network (MDDHLN) to integrate digital health into their diabetes program. The intent was to scale services to better support Montana’s rural, frontier communities. This population typically has limited access to health resources and can benefit from innovative tools, like digital health platforms, to help better self-manage their diabetes. This article highlights the many learnings and best practices to efficiently and effectively implement novel cardiometabolic care models that integrate in-person, virtual and digital capabilities.

In this research, Welldoc demonstrates the potential for digital health solutions focused on diabetes to also address a broader set of cardiometabolic outcomes. A multi-condition approach could help health plans, health systems and care teams to better manage the complexities associated with diabetes, while also addressing other cardiometabolic health comorbid conditions. This work can also support better understanding of digital health engagement patterns and the impact to specific health outcomes, ultimately contributing to the development of predictive models and advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.

In this real-world analysis, Welldoc builds upon prior research to show early engagement data from a digital health solution can predict the future Glycemic Risk Indicator (GRI) metric* in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. This research could enable care teams to use early digital health engagement data to build more personalized and optimized care plans for individuals, and supports Welldoc's efforts in developing next-generation digital health solutions that can improve efficiencies and health outcomes.

In this real-world analysis, Welldoc shows how AI-driven digital coaching can provide personalized, whole-person support for individuals with multiple cardiometabolic conditions, like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, and amplify the benefits of visits and communication with providers. These outcomes demonstrate how overall cardiovascular risk can be reduced in a high-risk population in a scalable manner, and support Welldoc’s efforts in developing next-generation digital health solutions that can improve health outcomes and increase access to care.

In this journal article, Welldoc builds upon prior research focused on advancing chronic care through the use of digital health and real-time connected devices. This study examines the impact of combing real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) with an AI-driven digital health solution on helping individuals with type 2 diabetes to improve their glycemic metrics like time in range (TIR).

In this study, Welldoc builds upon our prior research on advancing digital health AI through machine learning (ML) and connection with real-time connected devices, such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This study examines how CGM data combined with digital health My E-Diary for Activities and Lifestyle (MEDAL) data and behavior patterns can lead to better understanding of optimal digital health feature utilization and ML models, which can be used to predict future Time in Range (TIR). This research continues Welldoc's efforts in advancing our AI models and developing next generation digital health solutions geared towards personalized prevention and prediction.
