Clinical Trial Summary

This study randomizes participants to have their basal insulin titrated either through standard of care or by receiving prompts through interactions with an AI-enabled smart speaker device. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of an AI-enabled smart speaker device and whether such a device facilitates insulin titration management, increases insulin adherence and decreases time to optimal insulin dose. The secondary objective of the study is to explore whether the device improves glycemic control as defined by improvements in fasting blood sugar.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Time to Optimal Insulin Dose	Number of days between study start date and goal fasting sugar	8 weeks
Primary	Insulin Medication Adherence	Percentage of adherence to taking insulin based on logs over 8 weeks	8 weeks
Primary	Attitudes Toward Diabetes	Change in Composite Score of Attitudes Toward Diabetes (PAID-5).; A 5-item psychometrically validated self-report questionnaire on a 5 point Likert scale (0= not problem; 4= a serious problem). The scores of each item are summed to create an overall score (Minimum value = 0; Maximum value = 20). Higher scores denote higher levels of diabetes related distress.	Baseline and 8 weeks
Primary	Attitudes Toward Health Technology	Change in Composite Score of Attitudes Toward Health Technology. A 2-item self-report questionnaire on a 5 point Likert scale, scored 0 to 4. The scores are summed to create an overall score (Minimum value = 0, Maximum value = 8). Higher scores indicated more favorable attitudes toward health technology.	Baseline and 8 weeks
Primary	Attitudes Toward Medication Adherence	Change in Composite Score of Attitudes Toward Medication Adherence. A 5-item self-report questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4). The scores are summed to create an overall score (Minimum value = 0, Maximum value = 20). Higher scores indicate more favorable attitudes toward medication adherence.	Baseline and 8 weeks
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Glycemic Control	Proportion (percentage) of participants with fasting sugar within goal at end of trial.	8 weeks
Secondary	Glycemic Improvement	Change in 3-day average fasting sugars between first 3 days and last 3 days of study	Day 3 and 8 weeks (assessed at the end of each 3 day period)
