Conclusion

Conclusion:

The use of mobile technology as a diabetes education dissemination tool is extremely valuable to the First Nations communities in North-Western Ontario. Not only can it potentially improve self-efficacy and adherence to healthy lifestyle choices and medications, it reaches out to youth which has been classically a difficult-to-reach patient group. With the success of this pilot, other avenues for dissemination such as addictions and mental health, can be established and explored.
