seeDoc designed the digital 'Diabetes Test' to assesses a user's risk of developing diabetes in the next five years.

“The Diabetes Test has been researched and designed by top doctors with both international and Indian experience and functions in a simple manner by asking users certain basic information about their health and lifestyle, and mathematically provides a risk score which conveys the risk to the user as mild, moderate, high and very high risk,” the statement added.

"Once a healthy person develops diabetes, the task is an uphill battle for both patients and their doctors," said Anuj Agarwal, co-founder and chief medical officer at seeDoc.

"Early detection and then preventing patients from developing the disease is the key to tackling the diabetes epidemic in India," he added.
