An aging population and rapid urbanization has resulted in chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension becoming a global health crisis. These diseases impose a significant direct cost burden and increase at a disproportionate rate when not adequately treated.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and point-of-care testing (POCT) play an important and undeniably beneficial role in the management of patients. However, effective chronic disease management needs to be managed by a multi-skilled team of healthcare professionals with specialist input.

FORA’s vision of the Full Care connection is to bridge accurate test results with accessible information technology, and transform that data into valuable and actionable information, creating a more efficient and high-quality health care system.

FORA provides a full cycle of care, which begins with frequent self monitoring of blood glucose levels at home. Our blood glucose and blood pressure meters have made diabetes control simpler and easier to manage with less pain, greater convenience and improved accuracy and speed.  

Furthermore, our care cycle solution consists of 4 major strategies including Self-Monitoring, Diet Control, Exercise Plan, and Optimizing Medication.

Using FORA’s full cycle of care - Physicians can easily monitor their patients’ progress remotely and adjust treatment accordingly. Patients are able to make more informed choices about their lifestyle, thereby optimizing diabetes therapy and reducing the chance of complications.

Hypertension affects approximately 70% of patients with diabetes and is approximately twice as common in persons with diabetes as in those without. Hypertension is the leading risk factor of stroke, and may lead to organ damage, kidney failure, cardiac problems, brain hemorrhage and some times even death.
