SMART accessories and chronic diseases

What are chronic diseases?

Chronic diseases differ from acute diseases in that they can last for a long time. These conditions are manageable, but often incurable. Treatment is aimed at improving symptoms and preventing exacerbations. The most common chronic diseases are:

  • coronary heart disease;

  • arterial hypertension;

  • diabetes mellitus;

  • Lung and breast cancer;

  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;

  • asthma;

  • arthritis, diseases of the musculoskeletal system;

  • irritable bowel syndrome;

  • celiac disease;

  • depression and others.

Portable medical devices are used for regular health monitoring, diagnosis, and control. 

The main factors that cause the development of chronic diseases 

Various environmental factors, genetics, and lifestyle can cause the development of chronic diseases. An unhealthy diet rich in simple carbohydrates and fats with insufficient vegetables and fruits leads to obesity, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and heart disease. 

A sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise and activity can cause musculoskeletal diseases, overweight, and problems with the cardiovascular system. Consumption of harmful substances, alcohol, and smoking increases the risk of cancer, respiratory system, heart, and liver diseases. 

Genetic factors and heredity increase the susceptibility to chronic diseases. Some genetic mutations contribute to kidney disease and rare hereditary diseases. Understanding all the factors is important to prevent negative situations. Health monitoring and regular examinations significantly reduce the risk of developing these conditions.
