Recently, the number of diabetic patients has increased, and there has been a warning that one in 10 people in the world could suffer from diabetes in 30 years. Researchers at the Institute for Health and Metrology and Analysis (IHME) at the University of Washington in the United States have analyzed data from the World Disease Burden Study from 1990 to 2021, and the world’s diabetic patients are expected to more than double to 1.3 billion by 2050, according to the international medical journal The Lancet. According to expectations, the proportion of diabetics worldwide will rise from 6% to 10% by 2050. Based on the adult population, the proportion of diabetics has already exceeded 10%. The researchers estimated the world’s diabetes patients to be 529 million as of 2021. “Diabetes will be the disease that defines this century,” said the editor of The Lancet. “How the medical community deals with diabetes over the next 20 years will determine the health and life expectancy of people around the world over the next 80 years.” “Diabetes is one of the most powerful health threats of our time, and it will increase significantly over the next 30 years regardless of country, age, or gender, and the global health system will face significant challenges,” said Shibani Agarwal, a professor at Albert Einstein College in New York. Obesity is in a situation where the global population is exploding. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the world’s obese population has tripled since 1975. The World Obesity Foundation predicts that the world’s obese population will increase from 988 million people (14 percent of the population) in 2020 to 1.94 billion people (24 percent) in 2035. Last month, a study found that 42 percent of Americans are obese, shocking the public. Korean men should also be careful. According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month, the prevalence of obesity among those aged 19 and older stood at 37.1 percent in 2021 from 31.4 percent in 2011. In particular, the number of men increased from 35.1 percent to 46.3 percent during the same period. As such, people are becoming more aware of diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Also, interest is growing. Digital therapeutics do not directly cure obesity or diabetes, but digital therapeutics have the advantage of being easy to use, increasing compliance with treatment, and requiring a lot of initial development costs, but not having a large additional cost afterward. In addition, real-time monitoring is possible, patient data collection and analysis are easy, and treating and preventing endocrine metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes requires a variety of things, not just drugs.
For those things, ONESOFTDIGM’s Fitrus is what is needed. Fitrus is a portable body composition measurement device and an IoT convergence multi-portable solution and device that can measure body composition, stress, heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure with 98% accuracy. It collects and records information on various places regardless of location and time, allowing institutions and institutions to check and manage their health more. The most important problem at the time of moving toward a super-aged society worldwide is that they should have a long period of healthy life without diseases. People want to make that measurement first, but ONESOFTDIGM’s Fitrus, a machine that solves the problem that most of the products came out as large-scale devices that can be used by experts rather than portable devices, is solving it. In the future, it will be a place to manage customers and customers who are interested in exercise.
For customers who want to manage their health such as diet, obesity management, and diabetes, it can be used as a basis for more accurate measurement records using Fitrus, and it can be used as a basis for health management while checking their physical condition more objectively. In the future, CEO Lee said that he will provide a variety of contents so that more diverse customers can use it more conveniently and manage their health more easily. It would be nice to meet Fitrus of ONESOFTDIGM, a company that makes portable digital healthcare devices, for health care, for health care, and to achieve a healthy body and a healthy life. We look forward to the future of ONESOFTDIGM.
