The goal of this Phase I project is to adapt an existing chronic disease management curriculum, technology stack, and process to become completely accessible, inclusive, and scalable to people with disabilities who are managing Type 2 diabetes. The objectives are: (1) to conduct a half-day design thinking workshop with 10 people with disabilities (PWD) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); (2) create an artificial intelligence-backed technology stack that enables seamless automatic communications workflow between registered dieticians and PWD with T2DM; (3) create an early prototype of the outcome of the design thinking workshop; (4) train staff and adapt curriculum/contents to be accessible and inclusive; and (5) perform an early minimal evaluation of the technology and content produced. Project outcomes include: (1) a proof-of-concept technology solution to offer scalable education and medical nutrition therapy to PWD with T2DM; (2) an adapted curriculum; and (3) early feedback from PWD
