This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their epidemiology. It notes that NCDs like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases have a complex etiology involving multiple risk factors. The main risk factors are behavioral like tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity and metabolic factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. NCD prevention involves strategies at different levels from primordial to prevent risk factors, to primary prevention of diseases, to secondary prevention of complications and tertiary management of disability. India faces a growing NCD burden associated with aging, lifestyle changes and environmental factors.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

8. METABOLIC RISK FACTORS
“Metabolic" refers to the biochemical processes
involved in the body's normal functioning
• Behaviors (modifiable risk factors) can lead
to metabolic/physiologic changes.
• WHO has prioritized the following four
metabolic risk factors:
‒ Raised blood pressure
‒ Raised total cholesterol
‒ Elevated glucose
‒ Overweight and obesity

12. CHARACTERISTICS OF NCD
Complex etiology (causes)
Multiple risk factors
Prolonged course of illness
Functional impairment or disability
Long latent period: it is the period between the first
exposure to suspected cause and the eventual
development of disease. This makes it difficult to
link suspected causes with outcomes.
Indefinite onset : Most NCDs are slow in onset and
development. Distinction between diseased and non
diseased may be difficult to establish.
13. PREVENTION OF NCD
LEVELS OF PREVENTION
1. Primordial
2. Primary
3. Secondary
4. Tertiary
For healthy people
For unhealthy people
14. 1. Primordial prevention- Prevention of the
emergence or development of risk factors
in countries or population groups in which
they have not yet appeared. Efforts are
directed towards discouraging children
from adopting harmful life styles.
2. Primary prevention- Action taken prior to
the onset of disease which removes the
possibility that the disease will ever occur.
Can be divided into population & high risk
strategy.
15. PREVENTION OF NCD
INTERVENTIONS
Health promotion
Specific protection
Adequate nutrition
Safe water and sanitation
Primary prevention
16. Secondary prevention-
Action which halts the progress of the
disease at its incipient stage and prevents
complications. Mostly curative.
Disadvantage - patient has already suffered
mental & physical anguish & community to
loss of production. Often more expensive
&less effective.
Intervention – EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND
TREATMENT
17. Tertiary prevention-
All measures available to reduce
impairments & disabilities, minimize
suffering due to departure from good
health & promote patient’s adjustment to
irremediable conditions.
Intervention – DISABILITY LIMITATION
AND REHABILITATION
18. RESPONSE TO NCD
Centrally sponsored schemes:
National iodine deficiency disorders control programme
National programme for control of blindness
National programme for prevention and control of cance, diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
Editor's Notes
A behavioral risk factor that can be reduced or controlled by intervention, thereby reducing the probability of disease
