app is a revolutionary
Diabetes Management
Program that
seamlessly connects
clinician with diabetic
patients. It is a
technology platform
which enables either
a caregiver (clinician,
hospital) to launch an
integrated diabetes
management program
or in future would
enable an insurance
company to launch
diabetes insurance.
The cost of our
platform is not to
the patient but to
the hospital or to the
insurance company.
Cost effectiveness of
mobile apps
Mobile and E-health
applications provide
safe and fast access to
information for both
clinicians as well as
patients. Moreover,
they enable better care
for patient’s health
and help create a
partnership between
the doctor and the
patient who has
the knowledge and
facilitate decision-
making regarding
treatment. These
apps are often dubbed
as efficient, cost-
effective and secure
methods for the use
of information and
deployment of advice.
In terms of diabetes
management and
costs arising from
the long-term
complications incurred
by this condition (e.g.
cardiovascular disease,
strokes, retinopathy,
nephropathy, and
amputations), policy
makers and health care
providers continue to
focus on identifying
self-management
interventions that
improve diabetes
care and patient
related outcomes.
Prior research has
shown that diabetes
self-management
education and support
improve haemoglobin
A1c (HbA1c) levels
by as much as 1%,
reduce the risk of
developing debilitating
and life-threatening
complications, and
have a positive effect
on other psychosocial
and behavioural
aspects of diabetes.
Innovating digital
diabetology
The socio-economic
strata of newly
diagnosed diabetics
are quite astounding.
The average age of
diabetics is coming
down, the prevalence
in rural and urban
population is
increasing year on
year, the lifestyle
is becoming more
and more sedentary,
combined with
unhealthy eating
habits the managed of
diabetes is becoming
more and more
challenging.
There is clearly an
urg ent need to fight
this epidemic at a
