Point-of-Care Application for CVD in Rural India
Point-of-Care Application
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rural India is characterized by early age of onset, rapid progression, and high mortality rate, with nearly 62% of all CVD deaths being premature. Screening for conventional risk factors is crucial, but systemic barriers such as a lack of tools and expertise to identify and assess at-risk patients are widespread in rural India. We designed a module to help primary healthcare providers’ capacity to screen, test, and treat CVD. Early detection of CVD is key to improving patients’ long-term health and easing the economic burden on the health system by preventing more serious and costly health complications.
