Area deprivation levels of members of a fully digital diabetes prevention program compared to the US population

This study demonstrates that a digital DPP had uptake in individuals with prediabetes who lived in areas with higher deprivation than the comparable US population. This finding suggests that a digital DPP indeed reached individuals in high deprivation areas in need of accessible preventive healthcare, contradicting the stereotype that digital solutions only reach socially advantaged individuals with prediabetes. Providing much-needed, on-demand care may help to mitigate the associated negative health impacts of living in a deprived area.
