Disease Awareness in focus: From diabetes to COPD screening worldwide

Challenge: Diabetes Wellness is a fundraising foundation that has been working to raise awareness of diabetes and support research since 2007. A major challenge for the foundation has been staffing its blood glucose testing activities in the community.

 

Adxto's solution:
Adxto has provided nurse services to Diabetes Wellness at various events, where our nurses perform blood glucose testing on the public. These activities have taken place at training runs and other community activities across the country. The aim is to spread knowledge about diabetes, create disease awareness and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Adxto nurses also provide telephone and email support to answer questions about diabetes.

Results:
Through this collaboration, we have been able to identify individuals with undetected diabetes or at increased risk and refer them for care. This prevents individuals from developing diabetes-related complications in the long term.

"Our cooperation with Adxto has always worked very well, and we are very satisfied with the work of the nurses. Their competence and continuity make our work much easier."
- Jacob Andersson, Diabetes Wellness


 

COPD screening project: Discovering the undiscovered in the Philippines

 

Challenge:
A pharmaceutical company in the Philippines identified the need to raise awareness of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and identify individuals with undetected disease. The challenge was that many people live with COPD without knowing the diagnosis.

Adxto's solution:
Adxto implemented screening tests for COPD, including spirometry, HbA1c and other medical tests, in public places such as shopping centers. The aim was to identify individuals with undetected COPD and refer them for care. The tests were performed by Adxto nurses, doctors and respiratory therapists, who were trained to manage confidentiality and report adverse events according to client guidelines.

Results:
With over 200 nurses, doctors and pulmonary therapists on staff, Adxto was able to implement comprehensive screening programs across the Philippines. We have helped individuals receive an early diagnosis, slowing the progression of the disease and reducing mortality.
