NanoHealth is solving one of the largest health problems of the 21st century– Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) that account for highest deaths and disability across the world. NCDs cause 2 out of 3 deaths worldwide. The 2015 Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Global Survey showed that 1 in 4 Indians face the risk of death from an NCD before they hit the age of 70. In addition to causing premature deaths, NCDs also impede the quality of life of people. NCDs are a threat not only to human health, but also to economic development and growth. NCDs account for an annual loss of 5-10% of GDP in India, leading to a crippling effect on the individual and the economy. Current health care systems, both in the public and private sectors, are heavily oriented towards reactive care and episodic treatment. There is less emphasis on preventive, primary and continuous care that is required to manage long term clinical and behavioral modifications necessary to manage chronic conditions and reduce long term health costs for individuals and health systems. NanoHealth has taken on this challenge of building a solution to tackle NCDs at scale.
Special Features of the Product
Name of the Project: NanoHealth Partners with Government of Telangana to Successfully Bring Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Care to the People!
Name of the Partner: Government of Telangana
NanoHealth has partnered with Government of Telangana to integrate its award-winning community based NCD management solution through a pilot program in one Urban Primary Health Centre (UPHC- BRR Nagar) in Karimnagar District. The goal of the program was to complete 10,000 community based & door-to-door screenings for 5 common NCDs namely Diabetes, Hypertension, Oral Cancer, Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer.
Special Features of the Project
NanoHealth trained 10 ANMs to use a simple yet effective application on tab for on-the-spot screening, referral of high risk patients and for counselling. The ANMs conducted 10,000 screenings in a period of 9 weeks. The pilot program achieved great impact in terms of improving awareness on NCDs within the community. There was a large amount of under diagnosis i.e. people with high risk readings were not aware of any possible onset of disease. About 30% under diagnosis in Diabetes, and well over 50% under diagnosis in Hypertension, which are engine diseases for larger problems like Cardio-vascular diseases.
NanoCare Health Services Private Limited called as NanoHealth has been founded in 2014 to provide pro-active, integrated care for chronic conditions. Founded by a team of Indian School of Business students, NanoHealth has been awarded the HULT Prize in 2014 for the best chronic care management solution. Recently, NanoHealth has had a strategic partnership with Freedom Health, the largest private health insurance provider in USA. NanoHealth is operational in Hyderabad and is focused on the urban slum population. NanoHealth has reached out to more than 60,000 people and is actively managing the health of thousands. An independent impact evaluation carried out by the Max Institute at Indian School of Business showed early positive impact on health. Nearly 40% of the people diagnosed with diabetes or hypertension were newly informed of the disease assent, thus reducing under-diagnosis.
