“So far, around 6,000 patients have availed services at the Institute, with more than 25% from the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS),” read the press statement.
Drawing attention to institutions’ outreach efforts beyond clinical care, ministry officials said that the facility has strengthened outreach through digital health initiatives, benefiting over 6 lakh people via e-medical records, teleconsultations, SMS alerts, and information accessible on its website and social media platforms.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dr Sulochana Bhat, in-charge, CARI Bengaluru, said, “Our focus has been on combining traditional wisdom with scientific research to address diabetes in a holistic yet evidence-based manner. The Centre’s initiatives reflect how integrative healthcare can support prevention and improve quality of life for those at risk.”
She further highlighted the collaborative studies that are underway with CSIR-CFTRI, Mysuru, and IISc Bengaluru on selected food products and Ayurvedic formulations. “An integrated framework for the prevention and management of Madhumeha has been developed and is in press, while a study on Prakriti and diabetic peripheral neuropathy is also under publication,” the statement noted.
Underscoring the institution’s achievements in assessing diabetes risk, CARI has developed a machine learning-based predictive system. Once the validation is complete, a mobile app will be developed to enable individuals to monitor their health more effectively, the ministry noted.
