How digital health can increase patient engagement.....

Patient engagement and patient self-management are two terms thrown around in Chronic Disease Management a lot. Healthcare providers and health tech companies may finally be on the same page, they are both trying to improve health outcomes for patients and their families. The question is what page are the patients on? 

Why can’t we get patients involved in their own care? Chronic Disease Management is all about long term care and it is a challenge to deliver this at the primary health care level for a few reasons:

·      The number of patients with chronic conditions is greater than the resources available to manage them

·      Lack of systems and processes to deliver long term care

·      Technology

·      Patients
