Smart Phone based Personalized Menu Management System for Diabetes Patient

Abstract

Diabetes is a type of metabolic disease presented by high blood sugar and that leads to significantly decrease the quality of life causing various symptoms. It is essential to manage a systematic menu for preventing such diabetes even though there are some ways for it including diet, physical exercise, medicinal prescription, and so on. This study proposes a smart phone based personalized menu management system for achieving the systematic diabetes management. At the present time almost menu systems for diabetes patients are subjectively prescribed by dietitians or doctors and that does not reflect current situations and personal preferences. The system proposed in this study provides the menu for diabetes patients according to season, weather, time, and personal preferences. In particular, the recipe and personalized menu for patients can be provided without limiting any time and location based on smart phone services, and its menu can easily be changed or selected by the phone.

Topic Modeling Analysis of Diabetes-Related Health Information during the Coronavirus Disease Pandemic

“…In the topic of glycemic control of patients with diabetes, the identified terms consisted of “blood glucose monitor”, “use of continuous glucose monitoring system”, “blood glucose check”, “finger”, “difference”, and “accuracy”, which indicated that patients with diabetes had many questions about the accuracy of and differences in blood glucose levels measured according to the type of blood glucose monitor and the site of blood glucose measurement. Previous studies have reported that blood glucose levels measured by a blood glucose monitor may vary depending on the type of blood glucose monitor used and the method and site of blood glucose measurement [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Such differences in blood glucose levels measured by means of a blood glucose monitor may be due to the performance of the device, but they can also occur due to personal factors (measurement method used and environmental factors) [ 39 ].…”

Comparative Study of U-Healthcare Applications between Google Play Store and Apple iTunes App Store in Korea

“…A number of hospitals have provided app services wherein diabetic patients input personal data and then receive feedback from medical teams in charge [16]. Lee et al proposed a smartphone based personalized menu management system for diabetes patients [17]. Smartphone apps can also train memory impaired patients [18].…”

The Effect of Smartphone Dependence on Nursing Workplace Spirituality among Hospital Nurses

In medical and nursing environments, using smartphones to develop programs to monitor errors related to medication activities [3], develop and apply drug nursing education programs [4], CPR simulation activities, various educational materials for patients among others has been provided [5] [6]. As such, various activities and programs based on smartphones are being actively developed and applied to improve hospital work and nurses' work efficiency.…”
