ABSTRACT

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases has placed immense pressure on global healthcare systems, necessitating innovative and efficient care delivery models. Telemonitoring, the remote tracking and analysis of patient health data, has emerged as a pivotal strategy in chronic disease management. This paper examines the evolution and current advancements in telemonitoring technologies—including wearable devices, mobile health (m-Health) applications, and remote patient monitoring systems—highlighting their role in the early detection of health deterioration, personalized care, and improved patient outcomes. It also examines the implementation challenges, regulatory concerns, and the nuanced interplay between patient autonomy and technological oversight. Specific focus is given to chronic conditions such as heart failure, COPD, and diabetes, emphasizing case studies that demonstrate the practical effectiveness of telemonitoring systems. As healthcare continues to shift from hospital-centric models to patient-centered digital ecosystems, this paper underscores the importance of scalable, secure, and equitable telemonitoring solutions to shape the future of chronic care.
