Singapore’s War on Diabetes: The Deep Tech Story

Описание: Presented by SGInnovate
In support of Deep Tech for Good

In April 2016, the Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) declared War on Diabetes to rally a whole-of-nation effort to reduce the diabetes burden in the population. According to MOH, we can expect one in two Singaporeans aged 70 to suffer from Type 2 diabetes by 2050; that's one million people of our population. The cost of diabetes treatment is increasing at double-digit rates throughout Asia. In Singapore alone, over S$1 billion is spent each year managing diabetes - a cost that digital healthcare technology aims to reduce.

In this session, join us to discuss Singapore's progress in the War on Diabetes and the role of technology in the prevention, diagnosis, control, and treatment of diabetes.
