Abstract:
This article aims to highlight the impact of mentorship on the lives of youth with chronic conditions (YCC). Here, we focus on the concepts of mentoring and technology as a means to support transitioning YCC. This is in response to the urgent need for effective healthcare transition strategies and the increasing importance and prevalence of technology in healthcare and health systems. This article also highlights an e-mentoring program for youth with epilepsy, an intervention that bridges the fields of mentoring, transition, and technology. While there is need for further research in these areas, consideration of these factors are highly relevant to the effort to improve health for this generation of YCC.
