Redcliffe Labs, marking World Diabetes Day, has introduced an innovative digital ‘Prediabetes Risk Checker’ on its official Android app.
In a press statement on Thursday, the company informed that this launch is part of Redcliffe Labs’ campaign, “Beat the Sugar Trap,” which aims to raise awareness about diabetes prevention and promote healthier lifestyles across India, particularly in urban areas where diabetes rates are rapidly increasing.
The Prediabetes Risk Checker is a user-friendly digital tool designed to assess an individual’s risk of developing diabetes by analysing lifestyle habits and genetic factors. With India now labelled the diabetes capital of the world, tools like these become essential, especially as over 136 million Indians currently live with prediabetes. Users simply answer a series of questions to receive an instant risk assessment, along with personalised lifestyle recommendations aimed at preventing diabetes progression.
Beyond risk assessment, the tool encourages users to prioritise early diagnosis and informed decision-making by recommending diagnostic tests based on their results. “Diabetes is no longer an age-specific concern; it’s increasingly affecting younger populations,” said Aditya Kandoi, CEO & Founder of Redcliffe Labs. “Our Prediabetes Risk Checker provides an easy-to-use, tech-based solution that helps users understand their risk and take proactive steps to avoid diabetes," he added.
Dr. Geetanjali Gupta, Director of Technical Operations and Quality Assurance at Redcliffe Labs, added, “Technology is instrumental in making preventive healthcare accessible. Our Prediabetes Risk Checker represents our commitment to India’s fight against diabetes by empowering people with the tools to make timely and informed health decisions.”
Through the “Beat the Sugar Trap” campaign and initiatives like the Prediabetes Risk Checker, Redcliffe Labs aims to encourage early diagnosis and lifestyle changes, helping India combat the rising trend of diabetes among younger generations, the company's statement read.
