Chronic Disease Management

In North America and in most western European countries approximately 80% of adults over age 65 have a chronic disease and of these 30% have three or more chronic conditions. The most common chronic conditions experienced by older adults include: Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid)
Heart Disease (heart attack, arrhythmia, high blood pressure, heart failure) and Respiratory Disease (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/chronic-disease-management. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
