The University of Missouri School of Medicine is hosting a lecture titled “Effect of Health Information on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Management among Patients with Diabetes”. Faculty , staff, trainees, and students whose practice and/or research interests surround the prevention & control of diabetes and obesity are cordially invited.

You can attend in person or live stream the Webinar here.

Presenters: Drs. Yilin Yoshida and Eduardo Simoes.

Objectives:

1) To evaluate the efficacy of health information technologies (HIT) in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across randomized control trials (RCT).
2) To identify a common effect of HIT on six CVD risk factors (SBP, DBP, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and weight), respectively, among RCT participants.

3) To suggest future research steps, and potential for translating the research findings into broadly applicable intervention programs.
