The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that diabetes will move up from the eighth-leading cause of death in 2012 to the seventh-leading cause by 2030. In Singapore, the number of people with diabetes is predicted to reach 695,000 cases by 2030, compared with 328,000 in 2000.
Automated and personalised tools can play an important role in managing diabetes more efficiently and accurately by monitoring data on glucose levels, fitness activity and diet. Healthcare practitioners can use these mobile and wearable devices to monitor patients, collect patient data and provide more targeted service. Applications can be used to monitor metrics such as blood sugar and alert healthcare professionals if readings are abnormal, before patients require medical intervention.
With the Government’s ongoing commitment and investment in Smart Nation initiatives and digitalisation, as well as continued research among technology providers, this will open up new possibilities to better manage patients’ care and empower people to manage their own health through self-monitoring tools. It will also enable the healthcare sector to treat more patients effectively at lower costs.
