N2 - Background: Diabesity, a combination of diabetes mellitus type 2 and
obesity, is one of the biggest global health problems. Individual nutrition therapy
and physical activity are effective measures in prevention and treatment. Methods:
Requirements for an integrated diabesity service were specified and evaluated in
two stages. The aim of the first stage was to perform a feasibility trial in patients
with diabesity, using separate diaries. DiabMemory for diabetes and Nutrinaut for
nutrition. Based on the results of the first stage, a prototype of an integrated diabesity
solution (KIT-Nutriton, AIT) was developed and evaluated. Results: First stage trial
was performed with 10 diabesity patients (2f, med:53 y. (IQR:7), T2DM, BMI > 28
kg/m²) with 3 months follow-up and a significant reduction of BMI. Participants
noticed concerns about using two separate diary solutions. Results of the field trial
with KIT-Nutrition with 14 healthy subjects (3f, med:26 y (IQR: 20,25)) showed
that overall, 77.6 % of the intended tasks had been achieved. Conclusion: Results
show that the integrated KIT-Nutrition app, providing access to a nutrition database,
is feasible and accepted by the users. Before further trials can be made, an extension
for regional food terms is recommended.
