Abstract

With the aging of the population and the rising incidence rate of chronic diseases, chronic disease management has become an important challenge in the field of global public health. The emergence of remote medical technology has provided new solutions for chronic disease management. This article reviews the application and effectiveness evaluation of telemedicine in chronic disease management, and explores its potential in improving medical service efficiency, improving patients' quality of life, and reducing medical costs. At the same time, analyze the current challenges faced and propose future development directions.
