Effectiveness of Wearable Device-based Intervention on Glycemic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A System Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
With the development of flexible electronics and chip technology, the application value of wearable devices in lifelong treatment of chronic diseases is increasing. In view of its rapid development and diversified forms, wearable device-based intervention seems to provide a promising option to solve the problems of long-term glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, to date, it is unclear whether the intervention based on wearable device is effective on glycemic control in patients with T2D. In order to explore whether this choice is effective in glycemic control in patients with T2D, after database search and study screening, 6 studies and 1001 patients were selected from 181studies for this meta-analysis. The results guided that the wearable device-based intervention may be more effective than usual care on glycemic control in patients with T2D. Subgroup analysis showed that when the duration of intervention was equal to or less than 12 weeks, the effect of wearable device-based intervention was significantly different from that of usual care, but when the intervention duration greater than 12 weeks, the effect was not significantly different. The intervention effect of wearable devices with goal-setting or encouragement functions was significantly better than that of usual care, and there was no significant difference between automatic drug delivery wearable devices and usual care. In conclusion, the wearable device-based intervention is effective on glycemic control in patients with T2D. In general, this choice of wearable devices for patients with T2D may be effective to some extent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
