The Health department in Kerala has readied a mobile android application named Shylee as part of the soon-to-be-launched population-based screening for lifestyle diseases, one of the components of the Nava Kerala Karma Padhati.
The app has been developed by e-Health to enable ASHAs to collect information on the prevalence of lifestyle diseases and its risk factors among all those above 30 years in the State as part of the population-based screening programme.
The app will help in the collection of data on diabetes, blood pressure, heart diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer and other lifestyle diseases and the risk factors that lead to these conditions. According to the data collected, a score is generated by the app on the health status of individuals. The app will suggest that anyone who has a score above four may visit the nearest health institution for further medical examination and investigation.
