Imagine a toolkit that helps teenagers in poor neighborhoods stop smoking and avoid breathing toxic air. Instead of just giving advice, it trains young people to lead the change and helps doctors implement a proven plan. It's like a blueprint for cleaning up the air and lungs of the next generation in high-risk areas.
Knowledge on how to prevent non-communicable diseases exists, but there is a failure to translate this into practice, especially for disadvantaged youth. This leads to high long-term healthcare costs and premature mortality.
A tailored NCD prevention package, an implementation toolbox, and youth advocacy digital initiatives.
If you are a health app developer dealing with low engagement in youth wellness programs — this project developed youth advocacy digital initiatives that increase awareness and behavior change. You can integrate these strategies to improve user retention among adolescents.
If you are a consultancy dealing with the difficulty of deploying health programs in diverse regions — this project developed a standardized implementation toolbox across 5 countries. This allows you to offer proven, tailored prevention packages to governments in high-burden areas.
If you are an insurance provider dealing with rising long-term costs of non-communicable diseases — this project developed a prevention package targeting the 50% of preventable burden caused by tobacco and air pollution. Implementing these early interventions reduces future healthcare costs.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project states that early preventive intervention reduces NCD burden at acceptable costs.
Yes, the project provides standardized implementation strategies designed to be extrapolated to other contexts worldwide across 5 different countries.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project aims to provide an implementation toolbox for broad upscaling.
The project works to establish local health policies in the target countries to ensure the prevention packages are integrated into official systems.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, indicating a 4-year development and testing cycle.
The consortium is heavily research-driven with 7 universities and 3 research institutes, reflecting a strong academic foundation. However, with 1 industry partner (7% ratio) and 3 other organizations across 9 countries, the group has the necessary geographic reach to test the product in diverse markets, though industrial commercialization expertise is limited.
