The Effectiveness of Mobile Applications in Chronic Disease Treatment Education for Patients

Abstract

In the face of the global rise in chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer, traditional treatment education models are increasingly challenged by factors such as limited medical resources, patient non-compliance, and the need for continuous health monitoring. Mobile applications (apps) have emerged as a promising tool in chronic disease management, offering personalized, convenient, and real-time health education. This paper aims to comprehensively review the effectiveness of mobile apps in chronic disease treatment education for patients, exploring their impact on patient knowledge, self-management skills, treatment adherence, and ultimately, health outcomes. Through literature review, case studies, and quantitative analysis, this study demonstrates the potential and limitations of mobile apps in chronic disease treatment education, providing insights for future development and application.
