Why this matters
Chronic diseases continue to place sustained pressure on healthcare systems worldwide—demanding continuous care, long-term engagement, and equitable access. Virtual care has emerged as a promising answer, but beyond the momentum, a key question remains: What does the evidence actually show?
What this research evaluates:
- The role of telehealth and remote monitoring in chronic disease management
- How virtual care impacts access, engagement, and continuity of care
- Differences between virtual and conventional
care delivery models
- The real-world constraints that influence adoption and scalability
Rather than focusing on a single intervention, it synthesizes findings across multiple studies to provide a broader evidence lens.
Why it’s
citable
This article offers rigorous, synthesis driven insight for the field:
- Conducted using PRISMA guided systematic review methodology
- Draws from leading medical and scientific databases
- Balances benefits
with implementation challenges and limitations
- Directly relevant to health system design, policy, and digital care integration
It serves as a strong reference point for anyone evaluating the effectiveness and future role of virtual care in chronic disease management
