Undetected type 2 diabetes is a significant public health issue, affecting 50% of individuals with this chronic disease. Lack of awareness and delayed diagnosis often lead to severe health complications, making early detection crucial.
Discover Diabetes is a revolutionary at-home test kit that addresses the pressing issue by providing an accessible and effective solution for those in need. The simple, user-friendly kit and accompanying digital platform make it easy to screen for type 2 diabetes from the comfort of home.
Allowing individuals to test themselves at home creates a new path for diabetes discovery, bypassing traditional barriers to early detection, such as lack of access to healthcare facilities and limited awareness. It also reduces the burden on our healthcare system and highlights the critical role of strategic public-private collaborations in preventing severe diabetes consequences.
The solution is developed in partnership with Novo Nordisk.
Discover Diabetes is nominated for the ‘Young Ideas’ award
