Factors like long working hours, stress, poor diet and lack of physical activities have been primarily identified as the reasons behind the rise in lifestyle diseases. The worrying trend is that younger people are increasingly getting affected, in addition to those who are above 45. With lifestyle diseases affecting citizens irrespective of their social and educational backgrounds, the need of the hour is to drive awareness at a mass level.
Recognising this pressing need, Indian Oil Corporation in association with the ‘Illness to Wellness’ campaign and Yolohealth, a healthcare technology company, conducted a two-day health camp at Indian Oil Bhawan, Yusuf Sarai.
At the camp, over 200 employees were tested across various parameters, which included blood pressure, lipid profile, blood sugar and many other invasive and non-invasive tests.
Speaking about the initiative, Anil Rajput, Chairperson, ASSOCHAM National CSR Council, said, “I am glad that other companies have responded positively to the call of joining our mission of building a healthier and productive society. These health camps are playing a crucial role in sensitising citizens about the importance of getting diagnosis done at an early stage to prevent future health complications. Going forward, I hope to see more companies participating in this drive as we continue to march towards our goal of building an increasingly strong and resilient nation driven by informed and healthy citizens.”
The ‘Illness to Wellness’ campaign, a national initiative promoting healthy living, has been conducting a series of health camps to sensitise citizens on the importance of detecting potential health issues at an early stage. Serving as an awareness and proactive health check-up platform, these camps offer individuals a chance to get check-ups done and receive guidance on healthier lifestyles.
In the camp, Yolohealth used its trademark product HealthATM to show how technology has evolved in delivering accurate health assessment reports. These HealthATM machines are designed to offer primary and preventive healthcare services with the goal of ensuring easy public access. It is an aggregation of US FDA/EU certified IoT-enabled medical devices combined with Yolohealth’s proprietary HIPPA compliant software backend and cloud-centric platform supporting tele-medicine facility. This pioneering endeavour enabled individuals to take stock of their health and make well-informed health decisions.
The health camps are being held across the city to sensitise citizens on the importance of detecting potential health issues at an early stage. Serving as an awareness and proactive health check-up platform, these camps offer individuals a chance to get preventive health check-ups and through them avoid potential complications that could arise from their delay.
