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: Request for Proposal for Development and Maintenance ...

@ 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).
