Chronic diseases such as chronic pain, arthritis, and diabetes require constant management by patients, caregivers, friends and family. By developing and testing tools that help patients self-manage their chronic disease, CHRONIC aims to help patients and their caregivers to better manage their conditions and quality of life, and potentially reduce the cost of chronic diseases on Canada.
