Abstract
Urban slums in Bangladesh present unique challenges for chronic disease management due to limited healthcare infrastructure and resources. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights through interviews and focus groups. Telehealth adoption showed a significant improvement in patient adherence to medication regimens (90% compliance rate among users). Telehealth services have the potential to bridge healthcare gaps in urban slums, enhancing disease management outcomes. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness of telehealth solutions in diverse settings. chronic diseases, urban slums, telehealth, hypertension, diabetes Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p<em>i)=\beta</em>0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
