Abstract
Two significant aspects of the management of a epidemics, pandemics and chronic diseases are ensuring that patients comply with their prescribed treatment and close monitoring of symptoms of the public. Providing medical practitioners, epidemiologists and disease controlers and patients with a mechanism that encourages treatment compliance and provides the means to monitor symptoms in real or near-real time would not only facilitate better management of diseases, but would also reduce the costs related to the diseases and reduce the spread of them. Such a mechanism is made available through the Daily Medical Support (DMS) standard for communication that makes use of the RegPoint software module, a wireless disease management system operating via mobile telephony. The concept, developed by the health services company RegPoint Ltd (www.RegPoint.eu), is specially designed to monitor all kind of diseases.
