Game-based Education for Type 1 Diabetes in Children
This study is testing a mobile app video game called DVx-T1D™ to see if it can help children aged 6 to 12 with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) manage their condition better. The game aims to teach healthy eating and activity habits through a fun, AI-powered cartoon style. Researchers want to see if playing the game for 20 minutes or more daily can improve blood sugar control (measured by HbA1c values and glucose levels). You could join if you are 6-12 years old, have had T1D for at least a year, use insulin, and check your blood sugar regularly. The study is currently recruiting 80 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study where 80 participants will be randomly assigned to either receive a tablet with the DVx-T1D™ game or continue with their usual care. Both groups will continue to receive standard medical treatment.
- What's involved
- You would be asked to play the DVx-T1D™ game for 20 minutes or more daily if in the intervention group. You would also maintain food and activity logs, answer questionnaires, and attend evaluations at the start and after three months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be evaluated at the start of the study and again after three months.
