Abstract
In today’s twenty-first century healthcare environment, the interaction of patients with information and communication technologies (ICTs) is a particularly interesting dynamic to researchers who study changes in related behavioral phenomena. One such phenomenon is self-monitoring. In the management of noncommunicable chronic disease, self-monitoring is considered a critical enabler for the attainment and maintaining of a better healthcare state. This paper examines the behavioral change of self-monitoring and the integral role of ICTs in enabling patients to self-monitor.
