Abstract:
Chronic diseases have posed great threats for the health of the residents in China. The treatments for chronic diseases usually endure a long time. Therefore, a lot of medical resources are occupied. In this article, we introduce the chronic diseases management system (CDMS) based on eHealth concept. Patients can detect the index relevant to the chronic diseases by themselves and get some instructive guides about health-care from this system. The application of this management system will enhance the patients' awareness of diseases and thereby lower the expenses of the treatments for chronic diseases.
