Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Disease”, highlights cutting-edge innovations in the early detection, risk stratification, and monitoring of chronic conditions, emphasizing non-invasive biomarkers, digital health tools, and multidisciplinary approaches. For example, studies on non-invasive biomarkers for early chronic kidney disease screening, or digital health tools for diabetes self-management and heart failure remote monitoring, would be in line with our focus. By integrating artificial intelligence, genomics, and patient-centered technologies, the collection aims to refine diagnostic accuracy, reduce disease progression, and optimize long-term outcomes. Contributions span translational research, real-world data analysis, and novel diagnostic frameworks to address unmet needs in chronic disease care.
