Meeting the Chronic Disease Care Challenge with Secure Medical Devices

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that, in 2005, 133 million Americans suffered from at least one chronic disease. The magnitude of the effect of chronic diseases on society, both in terms of cost and quality of life, is often more than a statistic, affecting nearly all of us personally. The challenge to the healthcare industry is to find cost-effective ways to manage and treat chronic diseases and to deliver these solutions to all members of society by leveraging secure connected medical devices.
