We will search data from 2010 to 2019. The review will only include randomized control trials (RCTs) with digital health interventions (mobile health, social media, e-health) as the main intervention to deliver DSMES.We expect digital health intervention-led DSMES to improve target outcomes compared to usual care. This study will aggregate information on usage and challenges for these tools. It will also suggest the direction of effect of such tools in different populations.
