Telemedicine has made it easier for physicians and other chronic care professionals to provide the necessary interventions and solutions to manage patients. According to the Health Sciences Institute: Lifestyle choices and chronic conditions are now the biggest threats to public health and sustainable healthcare costs.
Working with healthcare professionals and using technical medical devices that can measure sensitive levels for chronic care patients is imperative to patient success. Chronic Care Management requires interdisciplinary health care teams—trained in wellness, disease management, and chronic care.
In the U.S., 75% of all health care costs are due to chronic disease, and an estimated 85% of avoidable costs are somehow related to health behaviors.
The providers specializing in the chronic care management are increasingly dependent on healthcare technology to access, interact with- and measure important levels for so many vulnerable patients.
From primary care pediatrics to long-term care, technology helps physicians with patient engagement.

- Advances in healthcare technology,
- the impact of a pandemic,
