Digital medicine is the need of the hour. It can be delivered on a broad scale in a cost-effective manner with the use of smartphones. It will help in treatment adherence and take better care of the self through personalized intervention overseen by the patients’ own physicians, remote monitoring, and follow-up, and behavior modification which all ultimately improve outcomes in such costly and tough-to-manage chronic conditions.
Furthermore, it also allows physicians to collect data about patient behavior and symptoms, and intervene when patients are not following their treatment plans or have a flare-up in their condition. However, a solid personalized individual treatment plan and a robust health system to care for the patient must be in place for the success of the Digital Medicine.
