Abstract

With digitalization of medical information and rapid distribution of smart devices, currently, healthcare service is actively planned and developed based on smart devices. By 2015, 500 million smartphone users are expected to use a mobile health application, especially for exercise, diet, and chronic disease management. Unlike other chronic diseases, diabetes can be managed by the patient. Therefore smart mobile device can be a universal tool for self-diabetes management because of its high penetration and functions. A mobile healthcare application for Android OS was developed to provide self-diabetes management. The application consists of Diabetes management, Weight management, Cardio-cerebrovascular risk evaluation, Stress and depression evaluation and Exercise management. The application synchronizes data with hospital’s EMR database to provide accurate data with minimized process of data input. This paper introduces detailed structure and functionalities of the application with EMR data synchronization aspect.
