Describe challenges in ensuring continuity of care for patients with chronic conditions. How can emerging technologies solve or at least ease these challenges?

Ensuring continuity of care for patients with chronic conditions is a challenge due to the complexity of their health needs and the numerous different stakeholders involved in their care. Traditional methods of communication and coordination between providers have been inadequate, leading to fragmentation of care, lack of patient involvement in decision-making, missed opportunities for preventive services, and other problems that can lead to poorer outcomes and higher costs.
