The Mealplanner partners with MediSapiens in EU funded program to develop an app that helps users prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
Pori, Finland -- The Mealplanner™ Europe Oy, a Finnish medtech company creating software that plans and organizes nutrition for users, and MediSapiens, a leading developer and provider of genomic, biomedical and health data solutions, have partnered to develop an application for helping users in the prevention of onset of type 2 diabetes. The development is funded by an EU grant from the PERMIDES (Personalised Medicine Innovation through Digital Enterprise Solutions) project.
The joint project aims at developing a novel application which helps users to assess the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and plan their nutrition in order to prevent the onset of diabetes. The application will be built to utilize novel AI-based methods for risk assessment. The projected launch of the application is during the second quarter of 2018.
“We’re thrilled to engage in this development with a solid, science-backed company working in the emerging field of personalized nutrition.This highlights our commitment to work for better future health through better and more efficient use of data. Type 2 diabetes is a global threat with rising incidence, and the potential healthcare cost savings of prevention of Type 2 diabetes are substantial.” says Marko Kuisma, CCO of MediSapiens.
Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic levels in the world population, including an alarming proportion of children. Indicative is that globally, nearly 28% of women aged 30-45 are diabetic. The focus of primary healthcare concentrates on treating the symptoms of the disease rather than prevention even though Type 2 diabetes can be reversed through proper diet, exercise and medication. The technology being developed by The Mealplanner and MediSapiens is designed to prevent Type 2 diabetes rather than treat it after it has occurred.
