Therefore, we sought to understand whether a healthy lifestyle self-management support SMS text messaging program can complement a health district–wide integrated care program in terms of its effect on clinical measures as well as patient engagement. The primary goal of this implementation trial was to assess the effect of an SMS text messaging program for patients with 1 or 2 chronic health conditions, that is, T2D and CHD, in reducing BP. Secondary goals were to (1) develop an approach to integrating SMS text messaging program content suitable for patients with different or multiple chronic diseases; (2) examine the effect of the intervention on other clinical metrics; and (3) examine the feasibility, acceptability, barriers, and enablers of this program when implemented as part of a chronic disease integrated care program.
