Independent evaluations were undertaken for all Wave 1 Test beds, including for the Diabetes Digital Coach Test Bed. The successes and lessons learned from the test beds were disseminated locally by the Test Bed’s project teams and NHS England have published key reports on findings around undertaking evaluations and information governance.

These findings have been incorporated in the design of Wave 2 of the Test Beds programme which is funding a further seven sites, including three sites focussed on the self-management of type 2 diabetes.
