disease management
Controlling health conditions
Disease management is a systematic approach to treating chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease—coordinating care, monitoring symptoms, and adjusting treatments over time.
The term emphasizes ongoing control rather than cure: Her disease management plan includes regular check-ups and medication adjustments.
In agriculture, disease management refers to controlling crop or livestock diseases through prevention and treatment strategies.
