AADI deploys new web platform

Joslin Diabetes Center's AADI Web site is a one-stop comprehensive diabetes resource dedicated to Asians and Asian Americans affected by diabetes. Available in multiple Asian languages (English, Chinese and Japanese currently), the site offers innovative and interactive tools that are culturally relevant to help make diabetes management an easier part of life.

Zaloni developed the AADI platform using Open source Drupal. The site includes interactive Flash applications for 'Wok' and 'Dimsum' based on the nutrient data from USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. The USDA database is published as a part of the Open Government Initiative in Data.gov.

Joslin Diabetes Center (affiliated with Harvard Medical School) is on the front lines of the world epidemic of diabetes, leading the battle to conquer diabetes in all of its forms through cutting-edge research and innovative approaches to clinical care and education.
