Abstract

This report proposes a digitally-enabled, low cost prevention and support model for reducing type 2 diabetes-related risk and improving readiness for lifestyle change in high priority patient groups. The proposed model has been developed jointly by NHS Grampian Moray Dietitics department, Maryhill Practice within Moray HSCP, the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre (DHI) and the Right Decision Service (RDS) – the national decision support service managed by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS). It is based on an 8-week pilot of the RDS Prevent the Progress of Diabetes app1 combined with an optional 10 minute signposting and referral call with a dietitian.
