World Diabetes Day: Redcliffe Labs launches digital prediabetes risk checker tool for early diagnosis

New Delhi: With India now labeled as the diabetes capital of the world, Redcliffe Labs is taking a tech-forward approach to help combat the surging numbers, particularly among younger demographics. On World Diabetes Day, the company launched a digital ‘Prediabetes Risk Checker’ tool on its official Android app.

This tool launch is part of Redcliffe Labs’ larger awareness campaign, “Beat the Sugar Trap,” which emphasizes the critical health risks associated with diabetes and educates on prevention strategies to promote better long-term health.

Using data analytics and interactive technology, the Prediabetes Risk Checker is a quick digital assessment designed to give users an instant snapshot of their diabetes risk by evaluating responses to lifestyle and genetic questions. This technology enables individuals, particularly in urban areas with higher incidence rates, to gauge their risk easily without formal consultation. It is more relevant today when over 136 million people are living with prediabetes.

Beyond raising awareness, this technology-driven solution empowers users by providing them with actionable insights. Based on their risk score, users receive personalized recommendations to modify their lifestyle and are encouraged to undertake diagnostic tests for informed decision-making. By providing a clear roadmap to better health, Redcliffe Labs encourages Indians to prioritize preventive care instead of reactive treatments.

“Diabetes is no longer an age-specific concern—it’s affecting younger people in greater numbers, making early detection and prevention essential. Reversing prediabetes is the key to fighting all the associated health risks, which can range from weakening your immunity system to increasing the heart risk to double,” says Aditya Kandoi, CEO & Founder of Redcliffe Labs. “Our Prediabetes Risk Checker provides a user-friendly, tech-based solution that not only helps individuals understand their risk factors but also guides them on taking further steps to mitigate those risks before diabetes develops.”

Through the Beat the Sugar Trap campaign, Redcliffe Labs aims to counter the alarming trend of diabetes among India’s youth.

Dr. Geetanjali Gupta, Director of Technical Operations and Quality Assurance at Redcliffe Labs, said, “We at Redcliffe Labs regularly perform over 50 stringent quality checks to deliver accurate and reliable health check reports for informed decision-making. However, to reach the masses, technology plays a crucial role. It enables us to make preventive healthcare more accessible and personalized. Our Prediabetes Risk Checker represents our commitment to supporting India’s fight against diabetes by empowering individuals to make informed, timely health decisions.”

The Prediabetes Risk Checker aligns with Redcliffe Labs’ purpose of Giving India its Right to Quality Diagnostics, which is possible through Awareness, Accessibility, Affordability, and Accuracy.

By harnessing digital tools, Redcliffe Labs enhances accessibility, enabling people across 220+ cities to monitor their health easily. This tech-driven approach ensures that healthcare reaches even those in remote areas, bridging the gap and making preventive care achievable.
