Technology and diabetes: How can innovation address the mounting challenge?
https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/technolo...nge/59130/
The global burden of diabetes
Apart from the human cost of diabetes and its associated complications, the condition delivers a major economic blow to healthcare systems and economies. In England for example, diabetes costs the NHS £10 billion every year. That’s £1 million every hour, or 10% of the total annual budget. Worldwide, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are predicted to cost over $7 trillion between 2011 and 2025.
Everywhere the budgets will come under stress. Governments, health Systems, insurers will do everything to cut costs und bring down prices for medical devices. It is a mystery to me that only so few can see that DECN is about to position in the right place to tackle a colossal cost Problem.

Quote:
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every dollar invested NCDs returns to society at least $7 in increased employment, productivity, and prolonged life expectancy. The case for the increased uptake of cost-effective technology is powerful.
