People of all age groups, regions and countries are vulnerable to the risk factors contributing to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), whether from unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, exposure to tobacco smoke or the harmful use of alcohol. These conditions are often associated with older age groups, but evidence shows that more than 15 million of all deaths attributed to NCDs occur between the ages of 30 and 69 years.
According to the World Health Organization, unless action is taken, NCDs are predicted to claim 52 million people annually by 2030.
Enter AiHealth.SG an AI-driven digital health company that is passionate about helping people live healthier and longer lives by raising awareness of their risk of developing NCD-related diseases, specifically cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
This young startup provides AI-driven risk assessment and management at the population health level with personalised interventions that help people take the appropriate actions to reduce or manage their NCD risks.
#biztechasia speaks to Shaun Rossiter, CEO and Founder of AiHealth.SG who shares insights on how his startup aims to raise awareness on NCDs by enabling individuals to monitor their health risks on a regular basis or manage pre-existing conditions all from a mobile device.
Additionally, Shaun touches on:
