Abstract
Background
The use of mHealth apps has shown improved health outcomes in adult populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, this has not been shown in the adolescent type 1 population, despite their predisposition to the use of technology. We hypothesized that a more tailored approach and a strong adherence mechanism is needed for this group.
Objective
To design, develop, and pilot an mHealth intervention for the management of type 1 diabetes in adolescents.
