The J&J Diabetic Vitality Program
Addressing the Growing Problem of Diabetes in China
Ray Costantini Emily Jantz Jarrett Payne Beth Roser Drew Smith
TEAM CERES INNOVATION
A Daunting Problem
• At least 30 million diabetics in China
• 70-90% are undiagnosed
• At least 21-27 million undiagnosed Chinese diabetics - likely many more
A Different Perspective
Increasing the diagnosis rate by only 10%
means that more than 1 million additional
Chinese diabetics will have the opportunity
to be treatedChinese character for
both “Adversity” & “Opportunity”
These Challenges Provide Opportunity
Barriers to Diagnosis
Lack of Public Awareness
• Even among health care providers
Volume
• 5-7% prevalence
– Diagnosis of 1M requires screening
20M
– Time consuming and impractical
– Expensive
Requires a System of Intervention
2. Screening
3. Diagnosis
4. Education
5. Retention
Vitality Centers
EZ Read Test Strips 1. Awareness
EZ Read Diabetic Screen
• Simple reagent-based urine diagnostic test
• High levels of sugar in the blood lead to sugar in the urine
• Performed at home (FOBT model)
• Principle used in the past to monitor treatment effect
What is it?
Similar device designed to test for
urine protein
EZ Read Diabetic Screen
• Very low cost - established technology
• Easier than a home pregnancy test
• Completely non-invasive
• Highly limited non-diabetic positives
• Bypasses lack of awareness - brings screening to the patient
Benefits
Distribution
Bringing screening to the patient
• Provide EZ Strips in heavily trafficked pedestrian areas
• Verbal instructions and education
• Printed instruction & disease information
• Provide free J&J branded products - bandages, pens, etc.
From Screening to Diagnosis
• Provide location of local Vitality Center in the event of positive test strip results
• Additional incentives offered at Vitality Centers» Positive EZ Test Strip results» Diagnosed with diabetes
– Glucometer test strips?– “Razor and blades” model?– Diabetic product “coupon books”?
Follow-up at Vitality Centers
Diabetic Vitality Centers (Emily)
• This is a description of the Vitality Centers
• Additional source of undiagnosed patients via word-of-mouth
• Potential function as Co-op center
• This describes how the patients would be referred to health care providers for follow-up
