Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The number of reminders triggered (in relation to the number of eligible patients, Ri/Ni) during repeated Virtual Health Checks (VHCs) VHC will be performed once a week for the whole study population, beginning at baseline and before randomisation. The main outcome measure is Ri/Ni at follow-up time after commencement of the study where Ri is the total number of reminders triggered by the patient record data in intervention and in control group at the time of analysis, and Ni is the total number of patients. Follow-up time max one and half year Yes
Secondary Specific clinical measures compared to an intervention and a control group Clinical measures as mean values of laboratory parameters, for example a mean level of HbA1c, a mean level of total cholesterol. Yes
