“…34 Studies from Pakistan and India have shown that involving trained health workers in home health education on diet and physical activity and training general practitioners led to earlier diagnosis and better management of patients with hypertension or diabetes, and it was also cost effective. [45][46][47] Scaling up similar models is likely to offer substantial reductions in cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease in the medium to long term.…”

“…Through our experience from our earlier mhealth projects [1619], health facility assessments, and literature review, it was concluded that a lack of systematic assessment and evidence-based long-term management are the major reasons for suboptimal treatment of hypertension and diabetes in primary care. The mWellcare intervention was intended to address these gaps and was designed to optimize its utility, acceptability, and feasibility.…”

“…We identified gaps in usual care through our previous mHealth project experience [1619], a literature review, and situation analysis of a sample of health facilities. We searched the PubMed database for peer-reviewed journal articles assessing the gaps in the management of hypertension and diabetes in India and other low- and middle-income countries published from January 2000 to December 2014.…”

“…59,60 One randomised control trial from a HIC, Denmark, supports comprehensive management (eg, attention to blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids) as being cost-effective, 61 and effectiveness evidence in LMICs is increasing. 62 Evidence from both HIC and LMIC settings supports screening for complications of diabetes, with screening for foot ulcers among the most cost-effective methods. 63 A study in India suggested that cost-effectiveness of screening for retinopathy via telemedicine ranges from $1200 to $2400 per QALY gained.…”
