Abstract
Chronic disease requires healthy patient behaviour to follow the care plan that becomes very vital if the patient has multiple chronic conditions and disability. Integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and focal health care business models provide high-grade answers to achieve adherence with a care plan to overcome socio-economic cost and improve the workforce. Analysis of the socio-dynamic cues (SDC) among different regions and interpretation models for data gathering through the ICT infrastructure can assist in better diagnosis, treatment, finding relevance between chronic diseases among regions of the world and the extent by which a patient follows the care plan with optimization strategies. The paper highlights that technology trust and implementation requires regulations as well as the multidisciplinary approach at all sectors as a deciding element for care plan adherence as well as shows how to make connections among diseases with a preliminary framework to develop a business model which is more efficient for assistive technological devices and eHealth applications.
