Current Challenges in Healthcare Access
NCDs and diabetes are increasing rapidly, while traditional hospital-centric service models struggle to provide continuous and personalized care for all patients and at-risk groups.
Rising NCD & Diabetes BurdEN
Millions of people live with diabetes and other NCDs in Thailand, with hundreds of thousands of new cases each year. This requires better tools for monitoring and early intervention.
Hospital Congestion & Travel
Patients often need to travel to district or provincial hospitals, leading to long waiting times, overcrowded clinics, and resource constraints for healthcare staff.
Fragmented Health Data
Health data collected in communities is frequently stored in paper forms or siloed systems, making it difficult to analyze trends, plan interventions, and support public-health policies.
