Abstract

The integration of technology into health care has shown significant promise in enhancing patient adherence, particularly in the field of allergy/immunology. This article explores the multifaceted approaches through which digital health interventions can be used to improve adherence rates among patients with allergic diseases and immunologic disorders. By reviewing recent advancements in telemedicine, mobile health applications, wearable devices, and digital reminders, as well as smart inhalers, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of how these technologies can support patients in managing their conditions. The analysis highlights the role of personalized digital health plans, which, through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, can offer tailored advice, monitor symptoms, and adjust treatment protocols in real time. Moreover, the article discusses the impact of electronic health records and patient portals in fostering a collaborative patient-provider relationship, thereby enhancing communication and adherence. The integration of these technologies has been shown to not only improve clinical outcomes but also increase patient satisfaction and engagement.
