Abstract

Mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRs) for prenatal care are mobile health applications that allow pregnant women manage, access and share their health data with healthcare providers. In this paper, a requirements catalog was developed, according to standards, guidelines and relevant literature. The catalog covers requirements about Sustainability, Internationalization (i18n), Operability, Reliability, Functional suitability and Performance efficiency. The usefulness of this catalog consists in conducting audit evaluations of prenatal care mPHRs, in addition to helping stakeholders and developers identify potential requirements for their mPHRs.
