The increase in number of hospitals with functional hospital management information systems has helped to increase efficiency and quality of care, thereby improving healthcare service delivery. However, with the prevalent issues that the Indian healthcare industry is still grappling with, there is a growing need for each citizen's proactive responsibility towards managing his/her health. Moreover, with changes in lifestyle and with increase in the occurrence of cardio vascular diseases and chronic ailments, the patients need to adopt a preventive style of treatment for managing their own personal health. This has led to the emergence of a personal health record (PHR), which is focused on a citizen-centric healthcare system rather than an institution-centric system. This paper highlights mSwasthya, which is a mobile-enabled personal health record management system designed for individuals. The PHR as part of mSwasthya is integrated with various health, wellness and fitness-oriented mobile applications, which the user can install and use them 'onthe-fly' as part of their daily routines to manage their own health.

“…Consequently, conventional health education focused only on provision of information cannot naturally improve health literacy and associated outcomes. 20 Davis and colleagues 21 reviewed 14 randomized controlled trials and revealed that didactic sessions were not effective for behavioral change. Meanwhile, other systematic reviews indicated that theory-based education incorporating multiple interactions could enhance the effects of education on health literacy and behavioral change.…”

“…Learner-content and learner-instructor/learnerlearner interactions are critical to facilitate the practice of skills and knowledge, which could in return raise interactive health literacy. 20,25 Finally, learner-context interaction facilitates application of what learners have learned in real life to contextualize information, thus achieving a higher level of self-efficacy and meeting the goal of critical health literacy.…”

“…Central to the constructivist school of learning, education should be delivered through appropriate levels of interaction (ie, learner-content, learner-instructor/learner-learner, and learner-context interactions) to improve functional, interaction, and critical health literacies. Learner-content and learner-instructor/learner-learner interactions are critical to facilitate the practice of skills and knowledge, which could in return raise interactive health literacy 20,25 . Finally, learner-context interaction facilitates application of what learners have learned in real life to contextualize information, thus achieving a higher level of self-efficacy and meeting the goal of critical health literacy.…”

Background With the natural cessation of estrogen, after menopause, women, especially those who are overweight, are at a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Diet control and adequate physical activity (PA) are recommended as the essence of promoting cardiovascular health for women after menopause. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a theory-based educational program on health behaviors and cardiovascular health outcomes among overweight postmenopausal Chinese women compared with conventional didactic education. Methods In this randomized controlled trial, 288 participants were randomly allocated to intervention (n = 144) or control (n = 144) groups. The control group received conventional didactic education. The intervention group received a 3-month theory-based educational program. Primary outcomes were PA and dietary behavior. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular health knowledge, self-efficacy in PA and diet, and cardiovascular health outcomes. Data were collected at baseline (T0), 3 months (T1), 6 months (T2), and 12 months (T3). Results The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in PA, dietary behavior, self-efficacy in PA and diet, and several cardiovascular health outcomes (body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and Framingham risk score [body mass index]) at postintervention compared with the control group (all Ps < .05). These significant effects maintained at T2, and the effects on self-efficacy in PA and diet also were maintained at T3. Conclusions A theory-based educational program may be an effective strategy for improving PA, dietary behavior, self-efficacy in PA and diet, and several cardiovascular health outcomes for overweight postmenopausal Chinese women. However, further strategies are needed to enhance the sustainability of the positive changes.
