Can We Use the Digital World to Tackle Insulin Resistance?
Prof Roger Foo (NUS School of Medicine and National University Heart Centre, Singapore)
Project RESET is a National Medical Research Council–funded cohort study for which we are recruiting Singaporeans who are apparently well, to characterise their underlying (subclinical) disease profiles. Emerging data insights point to a very high abundance of insulin resistance in this group, who are non-diabetic.
We are working through digital and smartphone means to engage with our cohort and encourage meaningful behavioural changes aimed at improving insulin resistance and, therefore, positive long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
