Abstract
Successful technology-based interventions to improve patients' self-management are providing an incentive for researchers to develop and implement their own technology-based interventions. However, the literature lacks guidance on how to do this. In this article, we describe the electronic process with which we designed and implemented a technology-based data management system to implement a randomized controlled trial of a comprehensive cognitive rehabilitation intervention to improve cognitive function and diabetes self-management in people with type 2 diabetes. System development included feasibility assessment, interdisciplinary collaboration, design mapping, and use of institutionally and commercially available software. The resulting framework offers a template to support the development of technology-based interventions. Initial development may be time-consuming, but the benefits of the technology-based format surpass any drawbacks.
