Future Trends for the Next Generation of Personalized and Integrated Healthcare for Chronic Diseases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Point-of-Care Technologies Enabling Next-Generation Healthcare Monitoring and Management

Abstract

The rapid advances in point-of-care testing (POCT), mobile healthcare (mH), and smart applications are paving the way toward better healthcare monitoring and management of chronic diseases. In the "not too distant" future, many if not most of the routine tests for chronic diseases could be simply performed by the patients in their homes, offices, and custom settings. The test results are then transmitted securely to the certified healthcare professionals, probably via the Cloud, and stored in the patients’ electronic health record (EHR). The patients and their doctors could see the latest results and trend in the test results, enabling them to take timely decisions and perform the desired intervention for better healthcare management. The interface of mH devices to smartphones (SPs), smartwatches, and other gadgets would further improve the compliance by patients as the care provider could set up customized text alerts and alarm for the tests, medication, and physical/lifestyle/medical intervention. This chapter offers a view of the future trends for next-generation personalized and integrated healthcare for chronic diseases.
