Brighter represents data-driven health on state visits to Indonesia.
Brighter united with Swedish world-class companies such as Atlas Copco, Getinge, Elekta, IKEA, H&M, Ericsson, Scania, SKF and Volvo in a major venture in Indonesia.
Brighter, which develops solutions for data-driven health, participates in Sweden's state visit to Indonesia from 22 to 24 May 2017. The company, which develops Actiste® - a service for insulin-treated diabetics and all relevant stakeholders in their care chain - already has extensive interests in Indonesia.
The country today has the world's fourth largest population with its 255 million inhabitants. As early as 2030, however, Indonesia is estimated to have nearly 300 million inhabitants and be the world's seventh largest economy, with the middle class reaching 135 million people - more than any other developing country in the world. besides China and India. According to IDF statistics, about 10 million people in Indonesia suffer from diabetes today, and the annual increase is about 6%.
Brighter signed an agreement in 2016 with one of Indonesia's leading mobile operators - Indosat Ooredoo - to launch Actiste on the Indonesian market in cooperation with Ericsson. Actiste will be marketed and sold as a service to both consumers and the healthcare sector. One of the key drivers behind Brighter's focus on Indonesia is its ongoing efforts in both private and public healthcare. In 2014, the Indonesian government launched a national health plan that includes diabetes treatment, digital services and medical devices like Actiste.
"Now we can intensify work to help millions of diabetics who need to take daily blood glucose measurements and inject insulin. Our subscription-based service Actiste could not only make the daily routines easier, but also enable better follow-up and allow for improved possibilities to prioritize for healthcare professionals, supported by The Benefit Loop®. In this way, doctors have the potential to dramatically improve the results of treatment and reduce consequential complications such as amputations, dialysis and stroke, "says Trull Sjöstedt, Brighter's CEO and founder.
Brighter is also a Shared Value Partner of Indonesia Mampu, contributing to the development of the first healthcare initiative, a program of works led by Palladium and the Indonesian government body National Team Secretariat for Accelerating Poverty Reduction (TNP2K). Indonesia Mampu’s partnership framework is aimed at alleviating poverty in Indonesia through a positive impact program based on four pillars of which one is healthcare. As part of this pillar there will be a focus on diabetes prevention and treatment where Brighter’s knowledge and technology will be an important component.
An important part of Indonesia Mampus's approach is the private sector's participation, which means that the program selects the best-suited partners in different sectors in its work in diabetes, including nutrition and food, technology and data, as well as drugs and health, including Brighter with its Actiste® As the only diabetic aid.
"We are proud of our commitment in Indonesia Mampu, which has received great attention in the country," said Truls Sjöstedt.
The state visit takes place from 22-24 May, and the delegation, with the king and the queen at the top, includes representatives from some thirty-six Swedish companies and institutions. The business delegation is headed by Business Sweden.
