¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?

Operando entre 1-5 años

¿Cuál de las siguientes describe mejor la(s) barrera(s)s a la que da respuesta tu innovación? Elige hasta dos.

Acceso, Costo.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?

We are trying to solve the lack of access to diabetes care. Diabetes is rapidly becoming a global health catastrophe and Mexico is in the same track (WHO). Although no economic strata is immune to diabetes, the truth is that low-income people are hit the hardest (IDF). Government statistics estimate 70,000 yearly deaths from diabetes in Mexico. Prevalence in low-income segments is almost double and recent findings show that 30% have complications and only 5% of patients have good control.

La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.

We provide affordable and convenient Type 2 diabetes care in ‘one-stop-shops’, empowering middle and low-income patient populations in Mexico.
Diabetes in Mexico is called ‘the disease of the rich’. This is because current alternatives of care are expensive, inconvenient and far from the possibilities of 90% of the population. By developing innovative evidence-based algorithms for diagnosis and disease management, and by creating a chain of low-cost diabetes clinics, we will revolutionize the way diabetes care is delivered in developing countries and for the 14 million patients with diabetes in Mexico

El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias

We create specialized low-cost ‘one-stop-shops’ diabetes clinics to provide affordable and convenient care close to the patient. We introduce low-cost screening devices, proprietary evidence-based algorithms and mobile health solutions to reduce the price of care significantly and empower patients to obtain better control of their disease. Each patient pays a Fixed-Fee memberships that allows her to have the diagnostics, labs and consultations of one year. We saved the patients more than 15 trips to the clinic and reduced 60% the cost of care. We estimated that each patient that joins the clinic reduces by 50% the chance of developing a complication due to the integral and complete care

Patients will have unlimited follow-up visits and access to low-cost diagnosis

El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?

Our main differentiations is because we are disrupting the way we treat chronic diseases in low-income settings. Government-run centers in the country are structured mainly to treat infectious diseases, which makes chronic care expensive and inconvenient. Other competitors are the private providers but their are fragmented and very expensive

We studied the behavior and needs of diabetics; analyzed all the available patient data and available technology to design a clinic that will have high-quality standards but very low equipment and personnel requirements. With our model we can reduce the annual cost of care from $700 USD to less than $250 USD

The main challenges is to empower the patient and change the paradigms of the actual model of care

Impacto social

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.

I am very passionate about social enterprises and how I can improve the life of many people in Mexico. After graduating in 2010 from my MBA, I received job offers to work for a consulting and a healthcare company. I knew that as an MBA from MIT Sloan I could have a very well paid job and nice living conditions in Boston. However, I also saw that every year more than 70,000 people were dying in Mexico from the lack of sustainable health delivery mechanisms for poor people. I was also motivated because my mom has diabetes and I saw how difficult it is for her to get and affordable and convenient care. It was not an easy decision. I had loans to pay, only a few savings in the bank and there was a recent increase of violence in Monterrey due to drug cartel fights. However, I knew that I had the technology, knowledge and skills to solve the problem and I decided that it was my social obligation to come back to Mexico, prove the solution and help diabetic patients

Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr

Revolutionize the way we treat diabetes not only in Mexico, but in the entire world. Dr. Julio Frenk, the former Minister or Health in Mexico and Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, inaugurate the first clinic saying that it will only be with models like Clinicas del Azúcar, how we were going to be able to fight this huge challenge of diabetes

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?

We already opened the first clinic where we have served in just two months more than 400 patients. 95% of them is the first time they have access to a specialized diabets care

Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?

Create more than 50 clinics to impact more than 100,000 patients, reduce 15,000 complications and saved the patients more than 70 US Millions
