KCDD-RSSDI Background

Diabetes care is changing rapidly worldwide, and the use of digital tools and technologies is key in driving this change in terms of improving quality, access, and cost of care. There are opportunities to use digital technologies through every stage of the patient's healthcare journey - from screening & diagnosis, evidence-based patient care, home care, and for prevention & management of complications. To support RSSDI members on their digital journey and leverage digital technologies to improve diabetes care in India, RSSDI has established the Koita Centre for Digital Diabetology-RSSDI (KCDDRSSDI).

RSSDI signed an MOU with the Koita Foundation on 13th April 2024 to develop and execute world-class Digital Health initiatives for enhanced prevention, management, and research for diabetes.
