technologies as well as advancements in their innovative application to address health priorities
has evolved into a new field of eHealth. Government started Initiatives to use mobile
technology, in particular text messaging and apps, to help combat NCDs such as diabetes,
cancer, cardiovascular diseases and chronic respiratory diseases. mHealth technologies and
initiatives aims to reach out to users of all categories for providing better health care health
promotion.
2.1.1 mCessation
2.1.1.1 About the Initiative

2.1.2 mDiabetes
2.1.2.1 About the Initiative
India is home to over 60 million adults with diabetes (7.8% of the population), of which more
than 30 million are undiagnosed or untreated, thus increasing the risk of developing
complications and premature mortality.
One of the most promising new opportunities is afforded by the high penetration of mobile
communications in India: the country now has over a billion mobile subscriptions. The delivery
of healthcare services through mobile phones has increased worldwide over the past two
decades and there is increasing evidence of the efficiency of this harnessing this opportunity.
Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in collaboration with the WHO
Page 8
@ 2017 Centre for Health Informatics 8 | P a g e
Country Office for India and other partners, has launched a mobile health initiative for the
prevention and care of diabetes – mDiabetes.
mDiabetes will contribute to improving awareness about diabetes and promoting healthy diets
and active lifestyle, which are vital to the prevention of diabetes. mDiabetes will also enhance
health care seeking and early diagnosis, contribute to better adherence to drug or dietary
control, self-care, as well as prevention of complications among patients with diabetes.
mDiabetes is based on proven algorithms for diabetes prevention and care, and builds on
previous international experiences in using mobile technologies to deliver these interventions.
Program was launched on 22nd June 2016 on ‘World Diabetes Day’.
2.1.2.1.1 Functional Flow
User gives a missed call on (011-22901701) number provided by NIC.
NIC will route the numbers of the caller to NHP URL (NHP will act as primary landing
portal).
NHP sends the reverse SMS to ask user for registering for following services-
Diabetes/tobacco quitting / both.
The user responds using the Keyword (pre fix ID will be numerical). The data base will be
generated based on the response from the user and then the sequence of SMS will be
sent to the user through the default software.
Outbound diabetes SMS (push SMS) will be sent directly through the mDiabetes
software once the data base of the user has been generated but whenever there is
inbound SMS (pull SMS), it will first land to NHP and NHP will then direct it to mDiabetes
software. A reverse connection with NHP and mDiabetes software is required in this
regard.
Required logic will be integrated to identify the number in the database. If the user
number has registered for both the initiatives and user had not responded with the
desired Keyword, then through unique build logic, NHP will send the reverse SMS to the
user requesting to send the appropriate response.
2.1.2.1.2 Technical Details
User mobile number hit on NHP API & system sends first standard message to user
NHP SMS application does forward the SMS received from the user having Keyword
WHO Development agency API and they will send messages/tips to user for mDiabetes
program through their system (through their mDiabetes SMS account).
