From the Paper:

"Preventive care has been shown to help reduce the severity of known health care problems in patients who are able to make lifestyle change and engage in approved self-monitoring behaviors. Patients who are capable of taking initiative in self-monitoring strategies are more likely to improve their physiological, psychological, and emotional perceptions of their respective diseases or disorders. As a result, it is increasingly believed that patients who are able to participate in self-monitoring programs have an increased chance of improving their overall quality of life."
