China is one of the countries with a heavy burden of chronic diseases in the world. The number of people with chronic diseases and the number of deaths show a continuous, rapid growth trend. In recent years, China has actively promoted the innovation of digital management models for chronic diseases in grassroots communities, improved the allocation of community resources, clarified service specifications, strengthened information construction, and established a supervision and evaluation system. Digital management measures for chronic diseases in grassroots social areas include building a digital health management platform, promoting the popularization and application of intelligent detection equipment, and carrying out mobile medical and telemedicine services. However, it also faces some challenges, such as data security, privacy protection, uneven technology application, and patient acceptability. China should propose targeted measures to address these challenges, further promote the digital management of chronic diseases in grassroots communities, and protect the lives and health of people.
