Focus on Pre-diabetes & Emerging Health Areas
Pre-diabetes affects approximately 541 million individuals worldwide and is increasing by 1.67 million cases annually. This condition is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but not yet classified as type 2 diabetes. Since pre-diabetes is often reversible through lifestyle modifications, early detection and intervention are crucial. AICUBE’s mission is to support early intervention and prevention through its innovative technologies.
Additionally, AICUBE is exploring opportunities to address other conditions like Parkinson’s disease via real-time health monitoring and analysis. Parkinson’s disease prevalence has doubled in the past 25 years, with over 8.5 million people affected globally in 2019. The rise in disability and mortality associated with Parkinson’s outpaces any other neurological disorder. In 2019, Parkinson’s accounted for 5.8 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), marking an 81% increase since 2000, and caused 329,000 deaths, more than doubling over the same period.
This context underscores the critical need for innovative healthcare solutions aimed at prevention and real-time monitoring, areas where AICUBE aims to make a significant impact.
