“One of the areas getting ready to grow dramatically in the near future is self monitoring. As countries face physician resource crises, patients are unable to find family physicians and chronic diseases become a greater burden on already overloaded healthcare systems, new processes and sytems will evolve to deal with the demand for care. A significant amount of chronic disease care is provided through hospital based ambulatory clinics and through other specialty clinics. However, there are only so many hands on board and providing increased face-to-face services is not always the best option.”
