Out of these fourteen beneficiaries, more than three-fourth of them had higher blood pressure than normal and an equal amount of them were found to be overweight/obese (n=11) and less than one-fourth were found to be engaged in regular physical activity (n=2). Exactly one-third of them (n=5) had high random blood sugar.

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.
