China's National Health and Family Planning Commission has partnered with Beijing-headquartered mobile health company Chunyu to launch an app-based diabetic management program, demonstrating the health authority's intention to promote the new model of medical service delivery.
The app helps monitor patients in real time, searching for personalized treatment and providing follow-up services, according to Fan Jing, vice president of Chunyu at the Future Technology Summit held by NetEase.
China has more than 110 million people suffering from diabetes, official statistics show. Among adults, more than 11 percent have the condition but many remain undiagnosed or have their blood sugar level poorly controlled.
"The latest program highlighting the use of a diabetes management app would involve more family practitioners from grassroots clinics and improve people's access to diagnosis and long term care," he said.
For intervention of chronic diseases, mobile health tools enhance efficiency, optimize limited resources and reduce costs, he added.
