Statistics present chronic disease as one of the stumbling block in a streamlined and productive healthcare system, affecting almost half of the wealth and resources. According to Center for Chronic Disease Control (CDC), 75 percent of nation’s aggregate healthcare spending is done for chronic diseases, which is estimated to be 5,300 USD/person in the U.S.

This poses a great threat to the healthcare system of various developing countries as well where nation’s economy and infrastructure is feeble to for chronic disease management.

Responding to the call for a healthcare system that reaches the patients fast, is affordable, and effective, digitalIT solutions have been in forefront. And for the digital health systems to thrive, smartphones have been offering the most reliable platform. Here, we discuss some of the creative ways for how mHealth apps can cater to the chronic disease management need.

How mHealth Apps are Simplifying Chronic Disease Management

  • mHealth Apps for Medical Consultation

Chronic disease like diabetes, cancer, heart and stroke disease, asthma, alzheimer’s disease calls for time-to-time consultation from doctors or physicians to take relevant actions against unusual health behaviours.

This problems has been addressed through virtual healthcare systems like doctor-patient portals. With introduction of some active and secure mobile platforms like Lybrate, iSikcure, Medidoc etc., patients are being able to access care by consulting doctors via eVisits, by easily sharing health vitals for medical recommendation, for on-time F2F consultation booking etc.
