Abstract

In recent years, more and more generic technologies appear, allowing to find answers simultaneously along different dimensions, "fan" solutions for urgent and complex problems are synthesized, and cumulative effect emerges. The article analyzes the potential of such technologies on the example of mobile health (mHealth), which provide rapid access to medical services even in the most remote regions, smoothing the inequality between different segments of the population in this regard. Their implementation becomes especially important in the context of the rapid spread of chronic and autoimmune diseases, which strongly affect the quality and duration of life. Smart applications based on AI and virtual reality provide the opportunity to manage health by combining patient self-monitoring with rapid consultation with medical staff. By doing so, risks are reduced and physiological and mental well-being is enhanced. This article conducts a large-scale literature review of diabetes management techniques through mobile technology to systematize and identify the most advanced solutions. For such innovations to maximize their impact, public health policies must be aligned with a digitalization strategy.
