Chronic Diseases on the Rise: Personal Health Systems to Play a Key Role in Disease Management

Summary

GlobalData's new report - "Chronic Diseases on the Rise: Personal Health Systems to Play a Key Role in Disease Management", explores the effect of chronic diseases on the global medical equipment industry. The next decade will witness a global epidemiological transition from infectious disease to chronic disease fueled by an aging population and rapid urbanization. The management of chronic diseases will prove to be a strain on healthcare budgets for both developed and the developing nations alike. Effective solutions to manage and monitor these diseases and reduce healthcare costs will play an important role in the future. GlobalData believes that one such solution is the patient centered personal health monitoring system which promises to manage chronic diseases through effective monitoring and prevention and reduce costs in the long run.
