CDMS Highlights
Chronic Disease Management System
A chronic disease management system (CDMS) connects to the EHR and the mobile application on a patient’s device. The CDMS enables automation of vitals monitoring, health data analysis, and alerting and processing information (by sending notifications to patients and receiving their messages). It is a central system that can be built to fit a number of chronic conditions and support particular mobile apps for each separate disease.
We offer two implementation options:
|
CRM-based development on Microsoft Dynamics CRM or Salesforce |
Custom solution development |
You can have a look at additional details and examples by exploring our recent article on diabetes management mHealth app concept.
Mobile Apps
We suggest developing different mobile apps for specific chronic conditions. Each disease has its own management aspects, and therefore we shouldn’t settle for one common solution.
The mobile app is a key doctor-patient communication point. The app handles the inbound and outbound data flows, allowing to interact with patients in a most effective way.
Physician to Patient Data Flow
- Medication intake scheme
- Nutrition recommendations
- Notifications on scheduled appointments, lab results, medication management and more
- Instructions on improving physical activity, checking vitals, appropriate using of medications and more
- Motivation elements: gamification, social media sharing, goal-setting
Patient to Physician Data Flow
- Subjective: discomfort, pain, muscle spasms, headache, shiver, fever, nausea and more
- Objective: temperature, blood pressure, glycose level and more
- Medication intake data
We recommend to develop a cross-platform application, the Xamarin technology is an optimal choice to support patients with iOS and Android devices. Moreover, the app can connect wearables and chronic condition-related devices to include the collected observations into patient’s health status overviews.

Data Analytics and Reporting
We create this layer to transform the scattered information particles into valuable insights, supporting the patient’s chronic condition care cycle, so that physicians and CDMS could use this data further. There can be 2 implementation alternatives:
|
Load data to the central clinical data warehouse and conduct analysis there |
Create a dedicated chronic disease analytical system with a data warehouse, backed by OLAP cubes and visualized through reports, charts and dashboards |

Software Logic Illustration
A physician creates a personal treatment plan in the EHR or the CDMS, according to a particular patient’s health profile with comorbidities, allergies, physical activity level, nutrition habits and more.
The patient receives the treatment plan via the mobile app and follows the recommendations and instructions. The patient records and sends to the doctor their blood pressure, daily diet, sleep, mood, medication intake, etc. This data allows the CDMS to monitor the patient’s health status and notify the physician or the patient about disturbing changes.
Then, the physician or system can suggest the patient scheduling an appointment to discuss the alterations in the treatment plan.
How to Develop a Chronic Disease Management App
|
1. Analyzing the key competitors in the chronic disease management segment. 2. Conceptualizing the app and designing a feature set for target chronic diseases. 3. Designing software requirements, architecture, and integrations (e.g., with CRM, EHR). 4. Creating a plan for compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, or MOHAP requirements on medical data privacy. 5. Designing the UX and UI of the app with a focus on the needs of patients, physicians, and nurse practitioners. |
6. Iterative development and testing of the app. 7. Launching the app to the selected mobile store(s) and releasing a web panel for medical staff to the production environment. 8. If the app is considered SaMD (e.g., it features AI-based diagnostics, medication dosage calculation) and is subject to FDA 510(k), MDR, or similar regulations, it should be submitted to the authorities for clearance. 9. Handling user requests and resolving the arising tech issues, maintaining and optimizing the app performance, conducting security code reviews, and improving the app. |
