Our tagline:

One stop solution for NCD Management, the biggest health challenge of our generation.

Our pitch:

1. NanoHealth is addressing one of the biggest health care challenge of our generation- rising burden of chronic conditions. NCDs account for an annual loss of 5-10% of GDP in India and more than 60% of all deaths in India, leading to a crippling effect on the individual and the economy. Prevalence rates of diabetes increased 135% in the last 10 years in low income groups compared to 24% rise in middle income groups. NanoHealth combats the key drivers of the growing NCD burden in India- under-diagnosis and care fragmentation in managing them. NanoHealth is a technology driven human touch based chronic disease management solution that integrates with the existing health systems (Public and Private) to make them proactive and continuous. 

NanoHealth solution addresses the systematic problem of our current health systems with a focus on patient and health outcomes. The most innovative part is Recommendation Engine that analyzes all the data around patient’s health and provides proactive recommendation to the patients and health coaches.

2. The NanoHealth solution focuses on early diagnosis and continuous care in a seamless fashion to ensure better health outcomes. Technology guided Health Coaches become primary points of contact that aid in better health behavior and care-coordination for patients. The technology platform provides appropriate personalized views to entire care team (physicians, specialists, diagnosticians, nutritionists), notifies them proactively to provide a coordinated care. The solution completes a full circle of health with patients at its center: Screening (Health Coach)->Diagnosis (Doctor)->Prescription(Doctor)->Compliance measurement(Patient)->Monitoring and Care coordination(Health Coach)->Health Outcomes (Technology)->Prescription changes(Doctor)-> Repeat.

The solution is being used by the public health system for screening and disease management at scale, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of existing health systems. Leveraging the platforms, for the first time in India, Health analytics is being used to design and implement Employee Wellness Programs and track employee health on a dedicated dashboard.

3. Impact: We measured the effectiveness of the program in improving health of the users by its ability of (i) Case Finding- find undiagnosed and undertreated cases by its screening activities, and (ii) Case Management- improved and controlled health measurements (blood glucose and blood pressure) among enrolled users.

Case Finding: 59% (25,241) were found to have uncontrolled systolic blood pressure and hence at risk of developing hypertension or its complications; 28%(12,190) had uncontrolled fasting or random blood glucose levels and hence at risk of developing diabetes or its complications. Of those who did not have previous history of diabetes, 21% were found to be at risk of diabetes and 65% were found to be at risk of hypertension. These were the newly diagnosed users for developing diabetes/hypertension identified by health workers. Further, 17% of those without any previous history were found to be pre-diabetic and 36% were found to be at risk of pre-hypertension. 

Case Management: We found a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose by 20.1mg/dL and systolic blood pressure by 9.2 mmHg compared to their baseline values after twelve months among users who stayed on the plan for 12 months.
