Chronic diseases are an ever existent, rapidly-growing problem that is the leading cause of mortality and premature deaths in the world. This group of diseases currently represents 60 % of all deaths globally with almost half of the deceased less than 70 years of age. Accordingly to the WHO, cardiovascular diseases are responsible for 30 % of deaths worldwide, making them the leading cause of death globally. In other categories, there are an estimated 170 million cases of diabetes and 210 million cases of COPD in the world today. While diabetes deaths are predicted to increase by more than 50 % within ten years unless urgent action is taken, COPD is expected to become the world's third largest cause of death by 2030.
ProWellness has been developing solutions for the prevention, management, and care of chronic diseases in co-operation with healthcare professionals since 1996. ProWellness delivers clinical systems that improve the quality of care through structured collection and region wide sharing of information that allows for the creation of clinical, managerial, and statistical reports. Our objective is to achieve a traceable and reportable care pathway that would help healthcare professionals and administrators better manage increasing amounts of information and workload.
