Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 81% of deaths in Thailand, while 3.2 million people are considered at risk due to unhealthy behaviours, according to public health data.
The figures were presented at the recent launch of a new digital health platform aimed at improving lifestyle management and reducing disease risk.
The Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) jointly launched the "SAANSOOK" application, a digital tool designed to support holistic health management and promote workplace wellness to help reduce NCDs among working-age people.
