To cure any illness required a restoration of balance among these four bodily fluids, and practitioners prescribed potions made from herbs, regulated diet, and so on. Today, thanks to the innovations in technology and modern science, we have a clearer picture of the complex systems that make up the human biochemistry. Far from the simplistic view and future of chronic care has aimed to target just that, the bio chemical imbalances at a cellular level. Chronic care management as a part of healthcare has come a long way with technology at the heart of it, doubling the life expectancy and delivering much affordable treatment than a decade ago. The developments have resulted in a paradigm shift in patient treatment, making the process heterogeneous. Understanding specificity and in-depth knowledge about the human fabric has been the most profitable outcome of these developments. For example, the body temperature is no longer 37°C but ranges from 36.1°C to 37.2°C. These changes have to lead to a much holistic assessment of lifetime care necessities, which assist in the early detection and remedy. Improved quality of care, doctor-patient interactions, and patient satisfaction are its outcomes. The growing realization of the need for specialized, dedicated chronic disease management solutions has driven the chronic care market. The global chronic disease management market has skyrocketed. It is expected to rise to a CAGR of 17.5 percent over the next few years, according to the latest research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). With hyper-personalization and all-round care, the idea of chronic care management has occurred in combination with state-of-art technologies like AI, IoT, and Analytics. Smart wearables and connected testing equipment have paved the way to a renewed view of treatment giving efficient outcomes. Integration of technologies such as AI and machine learning with treatment techniques are shattering the vicious cycle of `Chronic-acute-catastrophic' through proactive risk management and mitigation with regular intervention. Several healthcare companies discussed in this edition are specialized in providing solutions that leverage a technically advanced solution for understanding of disease prevention and healthcare delivery through improved identification, prediction, and risk stratification of patients. Our aim with this edition of chronic care management is to shed some light on the foray of the collective intelligence of experts in the field, along with some promising solution providers who effectually address the apprehensions existing in this arena.Let us know your thoughts.Technologies, Going the Extra-Mile in Chronic Care ManagementSarah FernandesEDITORIALAsher Blake
