Observations
A total of 26 beneficiaries (21 males and 5 females) attended the Swasthya Pahal camp organised on 21st February 2023 at Mojiwala Bagh, Azadpur, New Delhi. Out of these twenty-six beneficiaries, more than two-third (n=18) had higher blood pressure than normal and nearly the same number of beneficiaries were found to be overweight/obese (n=19). More than half of them (n=14) had high random blood sugar and only four of them were engaged in regular physical activity.

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.
