Stud Health Technol Inform. 2026 May 21;336:1951-1952. doi: 10.3233/SHTI260587.

ABSTRACT

Telemonitoring may improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. Usability plays a critical role in successful implementation of telemonitoring interventions. This study aimed to explore the usability of a telemonitoring system for people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. The analysis was based on data from a randomized controlled trial comparing telemonitoring to usual care. The Telemedicine Usability Questionnaire was completed by 144 participants (88%) from the telemonitoring group. The overall mean usability was calculated across subscales and showed a median of 6.49 on a 7-point scale. The usability of the telemonitoring system was high, indicating wide acceptance among users.
