Prediyabet, diyabet gelişimi öncesindeki geçiş evresini temsil eden, glukoz metabolizmasında bozulma ile karakterize bir durumdur. Obezite, fiziksel inaktivite ve sağlıksız beslenme gibi değiştirilebilir risk faktörleriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Son yıllarda dijital sağlık teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerle birlikte mobil sağlık uygulamaları, prediyabetli bireylerin öz-yönetim becerilerini geliştirmede ve hastalık ilerleyişini önlemede önemli bir araç haline gelmiştir. Bu derleme çalışmada, prediyabete yönelik geliştirilen mobil uygulamaların odak noktaları ve etkileri incelenmiştir. Literatürdeki kanıtlar; mobil uygulamaların fiziksel aktivite artışı, kilo kontrolü, glisemik parametrelerin (glikolize hemoglobin, açlık plazma glukozu) iyileştirilmesi ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının geliştirilmesinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Uygulamalarda sıklıkla yaşam koçu, hemşire veya sağlık profesyonelleri danışmanlığı, adım sayacı entegrasyonu ve kişiye özel bildirimlerle davranış değişikliği desteklenmektedir. Bununla birlikte, veri güvenliği, klinik geçerlilik ve uygulama kalitesi konularında eksiklikler olduğu, bu nedenle uygulamaların geliştirilmesinde sağlık profesyonellerinin aktif rol almasının önem taşıdığı vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, prediyabet mobil uygulamaları birincil korunmada etkili ve maliyet açısından avantajlı araçlar olmakla birlikte, standartlara uygunluk ve klinik doğrulama süreçlerinin güçlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.

Prediabetes and Mobile Applications

https://izlik.org/JA79DF35UB

Prediabetes represents an intermediate stage preceding diabetes, characterized by impaired glucose metabolism. It is closely associated with modifiable risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and unhealthy dietary habits. With advances in digital health technologies, mobile health applications have become valuable tools for improving self-management and preventing the progression of prediabetes. This review examines the focus areas and effectiveness of mobile applications developed for individuals with prediabetes. Evidence from the literature indicates that mobile applications can enhance physical activity, support weight management, improve glycemic parameters (glycolyzed hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose), and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors. Many applications incorporate features such as step counters, personalized notifications, and counseling from health professionals or certified coaches to facilitate behavioral change. However, concerns remain regarding data security, clinical validity, and the quality of application design. Therefore, the active involvement of healthcare professionals in app development and evaluation is crucial. In conclusion, mobile applications for prediabetes are effective and cost-efficient tools that contribute to primary prevention. Strengthening clinical validation and ensuring compliance with medical and technological standards will further enhance their reliability and long-term sustainability in healthcare practice.
