Digital CBT could help Black women with insomnia

Digital cognitive behavioral therapy could help treat Black women with insomnia, according to a new study published in JAMA. In the single-blind, 3-arm randomized control study, participants received either an internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment called Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi), a stakeholder-informed version for Black women or patient education information about sleep. Researchers found that study participants using an internet-based intervention for insomnia, with a tailored version for Black women and a standard version, significantly reduced their score on the insomnia severity index.

Welldoc Presents Data Indicating Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Combined with a Digital Health Solution Leads to Significant Improvements in Glycemic Outcomes

Welldoc®, a digital health leader revolutionizing chronic care, today announced the presentation of data at the 15th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), evaluating how the combination of real-time CGM (Dexcom G6) with a digital health solution (BlueStar platform) impacts glucose control for individuals with Type 2 diabetes not treated with insulin. Data show that the largest improvements took place in the intermediate users’ cohort, which had a TIR increase of 32% and a GMI improvement of 1.4. TIR improvements as low as 5% have been demonstrated to be clinically significant, therefore these data strongly support the hypothesis that combining rtCGM with a digital health solution can lead to enhanced glucose control and improved patient outcomes.

DarioHealth Presents New Clinical Research Demonstrating Improved Outcomes for Participants Using a Single Integrated Digital Solution to Manage Multiple Chronic Conditions

The study found that nearly two thirds of Dario participants with a BMI of more than 30 reduced their BMI by an average of 2.8 units with an average weight loss of 7.4% (p≤0.05). In addition, the study also examined a subgroup of Dario participants with BMIs greater than 30 and high-risk blood glucose readings of more than 180 mg/dL to understand the impact on both diabetes and weight management. This subgroup also demonstrated improved clinical outcomes, reducing their weight by an average of 4.9% and reducing their average blood glucose by 16.1% over a 12-months period.
