The two entities have formalised their collaboration through a memorandum of understanding (MoU), signed in the presence of RSSDI president Dr Rakesh Sahay, alongside other officials. 

Under this collaborative effort, the organisations, through KCDD, are set to build a healthcare technology team dedicated to defining and implementing national digital programmes in diabetes related management and research.  

The new centre will focus on digital diabetology, with particular emphasis on using digital technologies to enhance patient experiences and diabetes treatment workflows.  

Among the centre’s priorities are the integration of electronic medical records (EMRs), adherence to clinical guidelines, and patient engagement strategies, using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) technologies.

In addition, the centre will explore cost-effective solutions in diabetes care by leveraging digital health technologies and data sharing, such as care cost benchmarking and the dissemination of best practices in digital diabetes management. 

KCDD will also expand access to quality diabetes care, particularly in rural and non-urban areas, through telemedicine and other digital tools.  

These technologies will streamline and automate clinical and administrative processes, reducing manual and repetitive tasks. 

The RSSDI–KCDD will focus on continuous education and skill development for healthcare professionals using digital health tools. 

In addition, the centre will collaborate with pharmaceutical companies, healthcare startups, and other stakeholders to drive research and development in the field of diabetes.  

The RSSDI–KCDD will draw on the experiences of the Koita Centre for Digital Oncology, which was opened in collaboration with the National Cancer Grid and Tata Memorial Centre in 2022. 

Sahay said: “Getting access to timely and accurate patient data has been a challenge in diabetes management, and KCDD will help us bridge this important gap. We foresee this centre to become globally relevant in driving the use of digital technology for diabetes management.”
