In Southern California, diabetes plagues the Latino population, said Elizabeth Burner, MD, MPH, a research fellow at the Department of Emergency Medicine at LAC and USC. But due to language, culture, and other barriers, these patients may not manage their disease optimally.
Burner tested the use of a program that used mobile phones to text educational and motivational messages to diabetes patients to improve their understanding of the disease and encourage meaningful lifestyle changes. During the study, researchers texted reminders about nutrition, medications, and exercise, prompting some participants to adopt healthier behaviors.
Because mobile phones are nearly ubiquitous in America, "mHealth" could be a powerful public health approach.
"The SC CTSI provided funding and a way for us to look at this kind of technology and develop a way to get more deeply into the community and turn our idea into something real," said Burner.
