Innovations in Telemedicine for Chronic Disease Management

Abstract

Background: Types of diseases like diabetes, BP and heart diseases in chronic diseases also lead to high mortality rates in the world. The only way that advocates of telemedicine have found to be able to monitor a patient frequently instead of having to spend huge amounts of time visiting physically is through the use of this technology. The advancements like the current use of AI and wearable technologies can be said to encourage optimal outcomes of chronic disease management.  In this series 100 patients with chronic conditions were followed for

six months using wearable technology and telemedicine through artificial intelligence. The findings pointed towards an improvement

of the quality of patents on the wards. There was a mean reduction in blood glucose level of 12.5 mg/dL (SD = 4.2, p < 0.01 and mean reduction in systolic blood pressure of 8.3 mmHg (SD = 3.1, p < 0.05). The advancements in telemedicine especially wearable devices and Artificial intelligence (AI) analytics have shown an improvement in chronic diseases. These technologies do not only increase the efficiency of health interventions and improve the health status of the population but also make patients happier due to the possibility of timely individual interventions.
