AIS, Ericsson Partner With Brighter for Diabetes Solution Actiste in Thailand

In line with Brighter’s launch strategy, mobile operator AIS will be the company’s launch partner in Thailand. Diabetes is growing fast in the region and in 2015, about 4 million people lived with the disease in Thailand. Actiste is a mobile health solution that simplifies insulin-treated diabetes by gathering and sharing important data between patient and healthcare professional through a unified connected device. 

Actiste will be marketed and sold as a service to both consumers and the healthcare sector. One key driver for Brighter’s focus on Thailand is that healthcare is a priority investment in both public and private sectors. In 2002 Thailand achieved universal health coverage that includes diabetes treatment.
“We are very excited to take the next step in the launch of Actiste in the Southeast Asian market along with Thailand’s leading mobile operator. AIS’s focus on services for a digital life is completely in line with Brighter’s vision of digital and data-driven healthcare”, says Truls Sjöstedt, Brighter’s CEO and founder.
