The Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) and Koita Foundation have established a long-term partnership to set up the RSSDI-Koita Centre for Digital Diabetology (KCDD). KCDD will create a strong healthcare technology team which will define and execute national digital programs in diabetes management & research.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in the presence of Dr Rakesh Sahay, President RSSDI, Dr Sanjay Agarwal, Secretary General, RSSDI, Rekha Koita, Director, Koita Foundation, and Surabhi Goel, COO, Koita Foundation, at the RSSDI Annual Research Retreat 2024 in Jaipur on April 13 2024.
The Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) is the largest association of physicians dedicated to the care of people with diabetes in Asia, with over 11,500 members across 23 states in India. Koita Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation focused on driving digital health adoption and NGO transformation in India.
RSSDI-KCDD will work closely and leverage learnings from the Koita Centre for Digital Oncology (KCDO), established in partnership with Tata Memorial Centre and the National Cancer Grid in 2022.
RSSDI-KCDD is a first-of-its-kind centre to focus on digital diabetology. Its focus areas will include:
Quality: Leverage digital technology to improve diabetes treatment workflows and patient experience; including the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), clinical quality measures, guideline adherence, patient engagement, AI/ML
Affordability: Identify areas for cost reduction using digital health technology, data sharing, etc., to make diabetes care more affordable e.g., cost of care benchmarking
Access: Leverage digital technology to improve access to high-quality diabetes care, especially in non-urban, rural areas, e.g., telemedicine
Productivity: Leverage digital tools and automation to improve clinical and administrative workflows, to help reduce manual and redundant activities
Best Practices: Identify and share best practices in digital technology in diabetes management
Training and Capacity Building: Use digital health tools for continuous learning and skill development for various user groups, such as doctors, nurses, technicians
Research and Development: Partner with healthcare startups, pharma, healthcare companies, and other organisations to drive R&D in diabetes
This centre is going to play an important role in the coming years in the development of newer technologies and innovations for improving diabetes care management. Getting access to timely and accurate patient data has been a challenge in diabetes management, and KCDD will help us bridge this important gap. They foresee this centre to become globally relevant in driving the use of digital technology for diabetes management.
