Conclusion

More than 60% of the beneficiaries were overweight or obese. This could be due to less physical activity, irregular mealtimes, and unhealthy eating habits. Prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was very less. The two beneficiaries with hypertension were not taking any medication to treat it.

Many of them were consuming alcohol or smoking cigarettes or bidhis regularly. As reported by the beneficiaries, lack of time due to long duty hours was their main barrier towards exercising regularly and consuming regular and healthy meals.

Swasthya Pahal ("Health for all"), our community initiative utilizes SMAART™ framework, aims to promote self-management among individuals about diabetes, hypertension, obesity and high cholesterol. Swasthya Pahal utilizes interactive multi-lingual, touch screen computer program that gathers data related to social-demographics, clinical history, and health behaviors. In addition, objective data gathered includes height, weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar. An evidence based decision rule engine then generates a SMAART™ health card for each individual. Based on the individual risk findings, the system provides an individualized lifestyle feedback supported by trained lifestyle counselling experts.

RISE (Research, Innovation, Skills and Entrepreneurship), a collaborative Women Empowerment initiative of FHTS and P.H.RISE, USA, aims to Educate, Employ and Empower women, by providing them skills in research, innovation and entrepreneurship.
