Health management is an important global issue in the light of aging population and prevailing chronic illnesses. Other than trauma and accidents, many illnesses typically evolve over a long period of time from healthy to sub-optima health and eventually seriously ill state. Many of these cases slowly becoming chronic and have to rely on conventional medicines to control symptoms over along period of time. Others developed into acute and critical cases requiring costly and severe measures such as surgeries, radio and chemo therapies thus subjecting patients to increasing risk of side effects and longer period of rehabilitation.
