Observations during the camp
The camp set was organised in EPFO, Wazirpur. Their staff helped us in setting up the camp in one part of their corner. Their helping staff and supervisor were cooperative. The beneficiaries who attended the camp were cooperative and patient. They were enthusiastic and wanted to seek health and nutrition related information from the camp personnel. Overall the camp functioned smoothly without any hassle. It was observed there were very few people who smoked or consumed alcohol. Most of the women were overweight or obese and they did not engage in any form of physical exercise. Many of them had hyperthyroidism.
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.
