Android based health care system for aged diabetic patients

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is an illness that requires continuing medical care and self-management system for the patients to prevent acute complications to reduce the risk of long-term complications. It is a complex disease in which the care for health is supposed to be a satisfactory daily prescribed diet and practicing regular habits, in addition to proper medication and treatment. Good diet and exercise habits, as well as continuous monitoring of blood pressure and sugar are all important for a diabetic patient in order to maintain his proper health. Although there are too many health care solutions exist in the market today, but none of them focus on providing a personalized health care management system for the patient. This proposed mobile application will take an effort to ensure a healthy balanced diet for the patients with the synchronization of balancing food energy. The system provides more facilities by giving the chance to set the medicine alarms, monitoring blood pressure and sugar levels in a chart. The system also provides more safety by making emergency calls and messages in real-time by utilizing GPS reporting technology considering the crucial moment of the patient. Two surveys are included in order to show the necessity of the implementation.
