A mobile health solution for chronic disease management at retail pharmacy

Abstract

This paper presents a mobile solution for the management of chronic diseases, i.e. hypertension and diabetes. This solution facilitates the exchange of health information between patients and pharmacists, supports wellness decision making, and assists behavioral interventions for enhanced self-management and healthcare delivery. Since the beginning of 2015, we have deployed the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution in 3,000 drug stores around China. The one-year trial demonstrated significant improvements in the real-world evidence outcome.
