Global honour for SSKM doctor's ‘Bengal model'
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: Endocrinology professor at SSKM Sujoy Ghosh 's innovative model for detection and treatment of paediatric diabetes in the public health system has won him recognition from International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. He will receive the award in Montreal in Nov at a meet of the international organisation that aims to improve paediatric diabetes treatment. "This award is a recognition of the public health model that we managed to create in the secondary healthcare system for Type 1 diabetes," said Ghosh. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee posted on X: "ISPAD 2025 is not just an award — it is the Bengal govt's footprint on global healthcare." Doctors said children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes faced challenges in accessing insulin and syringes, glucose monitoring machines and strips, besides socio-psychological problems. To fill this gap, Ghosh and his team, with support from the state, developed non-communicable diseases (NCD) clinics in govt health set-ups. The first-of-its-kind project comprises detection, management, referral and rehabilitation, as well as keeping a registry for monitoring and follow-ups. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

The five clinics cater to 600-odd children with Type 1 diabetes. Soon, the project won appreciation from organisations, like Unicef, and the govt approved its extension to 10 more hospitals—Burdwan Medical College, Asansol District Hospital, Tamluk Medical College, Midnapore Medical College, Rampurhat Medical College, Murshidabad Medical College, Malda Medical College, Nadia District Hospital, Darjeeling District Hospital and Purulia Medical College. Funded by the state and the health ministry, the model will be implemented at all Bengal health districts. "Proud to share that West Bengal has won the prestigious award from the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes for Innovation in Paediatric Diabetes Care—honouring the West Bengal model for battling Type 1 Diabetes! It is a groundbreaking public health initiative of the Health and Family Welfare Department of GoWB, which has received global recognition now. I congratulate our Health Department, doctors, and others in the team for this great achievement!" CM Banerjee posted on X.

Adam Silver confirms bombshell AI plan to tackle soaring Achilles injuries in NBA (Image Source: Getty Images) Something new is unfolding in the NBA this season. Comments from the league office hint at a fresh approach to a worrying trend. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said there have been too many Achilles injuries lately. Because of that, the league is trying something new. Instead of just doing more check-ups, they're now using AI to help spot injury risks early. But what does that really mean for players? And how will AI make a difference? NBA introduces AI tracking after rise in Achilles tears NBA boss Adam Silver spoke to the media and talked about a serious rise in Achilles injuries. And he revealed that to help stop these injuries, the NBA is now using AI technology. The AI looks at how players move, how much they train, and how they rest. It spots warning signs early. This helps teams give players more rest before they get hurt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Silver said too many players have had these injuries lately. One big name is Tyrese Haliburton from the Indiana Pacers. The league believes AI can find risks faster than humans. It can give alerts for each player, so teams can act in time. How AI, players and teams will use this to prevent serious injury The new AI platform gathers data from multiple sources. It tracks wearable sensor readings, performance stats during games, and medical imaging like MRIs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in El Mouradia Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Teams upload this data into a machine learning model developed with Stanford University researchers, though the researchers' names were not mentioned. AI then flags early warning signs. For example, if a player's ankle motion changes or recovery time slows, teams get alerted. This can happen days or weeks before a tear might occur. Coaches and trainers receive a dashboard with colored risk levels and can tailor practice workloads accordingly. Many coaches and general managers have welcomed the move. San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said, 'If this keeps our best players healthy, I'm all in.'
