“These results show that when digital health solutions include proven medical science and promote frequent testing, such as Pops does, they can be a great complement to physicians to aid individuals with diabetes to achieve better outcomes,” said Tim Balder, MD and primary investigator
Key outcomes of the study showed a 1.3 point (17% reduction) reduction in HbA1c (the primary measure of glucose levels for people with diabetes), that improved outcomes were sustained for 24 months, and that those with a baseline HbA1c above 7.0% (indicating struggling to self-manage their diabetes) achieved a 32% improvement and reached an HbA1c level below the 7.0% recommended by the American Diabetes Association guidelines. The participants in the study utilized the Pops Self-care Platform, which includes an AI digital virtual health assistant surrounded by an ecosystem of simpler solutions including the Pops Rebel glucose meter.
