Prevention
People in low- and middle-income countries and underserved communities often face greater exposure to noncommunicable disease risk factors. Digital solutions can help expand access to education, raise awareness and support earlier prevention efforts.
Diagnostics
Limited access to diagnostic infrastructure remains a significant barrier to care. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), mobile technology and point-of-care testing are helping expand access to more timely diagnosis.
Access
Despite the availability of proven treatments, 1.2 billion people live with uncontrolled hypertension. Data-driven tools can help improve forecasting, strengthen supply chains and expand access to essential care.
Community
Community health workers play a vital role in noncommunicable disease care but often lack the resources they need. Digital tools can support training, strengthen decision-making and improve care coordination at the community level.
