“…World Health Organization (2011) presented a compact analysis on the role of smart mobiles in the health sector which is aimed to increase mHealth awareness among policy-makers. Finally, Eriksen et al (2014) studied the importance of usability and user experience in mobile health from patient and health care sectors. They applied participatory design with a multidisciplinary team to design a mHealth application for diabetes type 2 patient.…”

The increasing usage of smartphones in daily life has received considerable attention in academic and industry driven research to be utilized in the health sector. There has been development of a variety of health-related smartphone applications. Currently, however, there are few to none applications based on nurses' historical or behavioral preferences. Mobile application development for the health care sector requires extensive attention to security, reliability, and accuracy. In nursing applications, the users are often required to navigate in hospital environments, select patients to support, read the patient history and set action points to assist the patient during their shift. Finally, they have to report their performance on patient related activities and other relevant information before they leave for the day. In a working day, a nurse often visits different locations such as the patient's room, different laboratories, and offices for filling reports. There is still a limited capability to access context relevant information on a smartphone with minimal recourse such as Wi-Fi triangulation. The Wi-Fi triangulation signals fluctuate significantly for indoor location positioning. Therefore, providing relevant location based services to a mobile subscriber has become challenging. This paper addresses this gap by applying machine learning and behavior analysis to anticipate the potential location of the nurse and provide the required services. The application concept was already presented at the IMCOM 2015 conference. This paper focuses on the process to ascertain a user's context, the process of analyzing and predicting user behavior, and finally, the process of displaying the information through a dynamically generated UI.

The infusion of information communication technology (ICT) into health services is emerging as an active area of research. It has several advantages but perhaps the most important one is providing medical benefits to one and all irrespective of geographic boundaries in a cost effective manner, providing global expertise and holistic services, in a time bound manner. This paper provides a systematic review of technological growth in eHealth services. The present study reviews and analyzes the role of four important technologies, namely, satellite, internet, mobile, and cloud for providing health services.

“…These studies argue that technological devices are more likely to impact on behavior change when they are part of an integrated system that 'nudges' individuals towards certain behaviors, taking into consideration the larger context they are part of (11). Based on these studies, we assume that mHealth devices have a better chance of achieving the goal of supporting patient behavior change and self-management, when they are integrated in the ecology of the doctor-patient relationship and when they 'suggest' actions that are seamlessly woven into the pattern of patients' everyday life (12).…”

mHealth for diabetes support: a systematic review of apps available on the Italian market

mHealth is an expanding field of research and experimentation, concerned with the potentialities of mobile applications as tools to enhance patients' abilities in the management of chronic conditions. We present a systematic review of mHealth applications available on the Italian market and for the Italian speakers in order to assess their reported usability and functions. The review shows that there are rather few products on offer and the ones that are available display weak educational components, do not seem to be based on solid theoretical models of behavior change or decision making, and do not seem to be intended as devices to be integrated in the ecology of the doctor-patient relationship.
