An innovative partnership between NSW and India could help millions of people get access to lifesaving diabetes care.
A smartphone app, pioneered in NSW, is part of the IMPACT Diabetes program NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian launched in New Delhi on Wednesday during her trade trip to India.
The app will provide wireless point-of-care diagnostics for the management of diabetes patients or those who are at high risk of diabetes.
It will provide access to affordable, evidence-based and quality-controlled healthcare for communities in India, especially in rural areas where more than 25 million people have diabetes, Ms Berejiklian said in a statement.
India's executive director of the George Institute for Global Health, Professor Vivekanand Jha, said the innovative partnership was improving the lives of many people.
IMPACT Diabetes, which is part of the George Institute's SMARThealth program, will train female community health workers in India to use the app.
