Abstract
Contraception Mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRs) are efficient mobile health applications (apps) to increase awareness about fertility and contraception and to allow women to access, track, manage, and share their health data with healthcare providers. This paper aims to develop a requirements catalog, according to standards, guidelines, and relevant literature to e-health technology and psychology. The requirements covered by this catalog are Acceptability, Usability, Sustainability, and Internationalization (i18n). This catalog can be very useful for developing, evaluating, and auditing contraceptive apps, as well as helping stakeholders and developers identify potential requirements for their mPHRs to improve them.
