Abstract

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital partnered with Noom Health to pilot the virtual delivery of the proven National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) to prediabetic patients. Goals were to understand if the patients can use a mobile device to receive the NDPP content, perform tasks and communicate with a virtual health coach. This poster describes our preliminary findings and responses from patients and staff.
