Date: May 9, 2025

“Know Thalassemia. Act Early. Support Strongly.”
On World Thalassemia Awareness Day, LifeOnPlus stands in solidarity with millions across the globe who live with this inherited blood disorder. It’s a day to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support those managing the condition with strength and resilience.

What is Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce healthy hemoglobin. It can lead to:
Severe anemia
Growth delays in children
Fatigue and weakness
Lifelong dependence on blood transfusions

There are two major types—Thalassemia Major and Thalassemia Minor. Early detection through simple blood tests can prevent severe complications, especially in newborns and during pre-marital or prenatal screenings

LifeOnPlus – Supporting Families & Fighters
With the Global Digital Health Smart Card, LifeOnPlus helps individuals and families:
Track medical history, blood test results & transfusion schedules
Access local and global transfusion centers via GPS
Get regular reminders for check-ups & iron level monitoring
Use AI to flag irregularities in vitals or symptoms early

Preventive Steps You Can Take
Genetic screening for couples planning to have children
Thalassemia trait test (especially in regions with high prevalence)
Routine hemoglobin checks for early detection
Awareness in schools, colleges, and workplaces
By identifying carriers early, we can reduce the number of children born with Thalassemia Major and ensure better health outcomes.

Together, We Can Care Better
At LifeOnPlus, we believe no one should walk this journey alone.
We urge:
Healthcare institutions to adopt digital tools for Thalassemia management

Families and caregivers to stay informed and supported with technology
