FHTS, India and P.H.RISE, U.S.A. organized exhibition of handmade products under the RISE Initiative and simultaneously conducted Swasthya Pahal camp to screen individuals at risk of non-communicable diseases including diabetes, hypertension, obesity and high cholesterol.

Individuals received lifestyle counselling to help them self-manage their own health and got themselves screened. The consumers bought rakhis, cardholders, tiffine bags, keychains and earrings.

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. Under RISE initiative, our aim is to create 500 sustained employment for urban slum girls. We aim to provide platform to urban slum women and girls to not only be independent but also support their families, nurture their dreams, create their own identity and be a source of inspiration to many.

Both the Swasthya Pahal and RISE initiatives, utilize SMAART™ framework conceptualized by Dr. Ashish Joshi presently Senior Associate Dean of CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, New York and the founder of Foundation of Healthcare Technologies Society (FHTS).
