Abstract
Under the current climate of ever increasing NCD to be tackled by the shortfall of Health work force will result in increased morbidity & mortality. The alternate solution is linking Health provider and user electronically through ehealth, mHealth and Telehealth or all the three modalities. Detection of Diabetes, counting accurate Country Epidemics ,Control of Diabetes ,Recognition of complications ,management of Emergencies etc are possible online without attending the chamber of Physician using Sensors and Internet. Research can well begin with Electronic Health Record. Isolated areas of hospital based connected Health are working in many Nations. They all must be linked Nationally through Government and meet the challenge of combating the “ 21st century Plague”, NCD Health Professional bodies like API must start sensitizing the Physician and Public on this welcome change. This will lead to creation of Indian data, affordable access to Health care, better control of the disease thereby the morbidity and mortality due to NCD will be reduced. Healthcare providers should actively select and adapt technological self-management methods to extend the reach of diabetes self-management to patient’s communities and homes, provide for individualized care, and provide just-in-time information. People living with diabetes who have limited access to care due to lack of transportation, physical restrictions, or other limitations could benefit from technological interventions that bring care to them. Additionally, with limited primary care resources, technology can provide cost-effective ongoing diabetes self-management education and support.
