“…To manage disease and reduce the impact of chronic diseases, mobile health technologies can be useful through promotion of healthy behavior (15, 66, 67). These newly introduced technologies can be served as self-monitoring tools for individual patients (68)(69)(70) and can effectively enhance women's health (71).…”

“…The limitations of the technology and the brittleness of the network connections available at that time accounted for an architecture encompassing two separate elements, a Patient Unit (PU) and a Medical Unit (MU) that provided different services to those two user classes [14]. The PU was located at the patient’s home and was implemented as an application usually running on a Personal Computer (PC).…”

Glucose concentration in the blood stream is a critical vital parameter and an effective monitoring of this quantity is crucial for diabetes treatment and intensive care management. Effective bio-sensing technology and advanced signal processing are therefore of unquestioned importance for blood glucose monitoring. Nevertheless, collecting measurements only represents part of the process as another critical task involves delivering the collected measures to the treating specialists and caregivers. These include the clinical staff, the patient’s significant other, his/her family members, and many other actors helping with the patient treatment that may be located far away from him/her. In all of these cases, a remote monitoring system, in charge of delivering the relevant information to the right player, becomes an important part of the sensing architecture. In this paper, we review how the remote monitoring architectures have evolved over time, paralleling the progress in the Information and Communication Technologies, and describe our experiences with the design of telemedicine systems for blood glucose monitoring in three medical applications. The paper ends summarizing the lessons learned through the experiences of the authors and discussing the challenges arising from a large-scale integration of sensors and actuators.

“…46 M-Health methods offer increased flexibility in delivering lifestyle interventions and may eliminate some of the barriers seen to accessing traditional face to face and web based interventions. 47 Smartphone applications and mobile phone technologies are increasingly available as self-monitoring tools for individual patients, [48][49][50][51] and have been used as an adjunct tool to standard clinical consultations in the adult weight loss setting. 47 Such applications have been advocated as a means of improving an individual's access to resources, while increasing individual engagement, and overcoming some of the barriers that have been associated with traditional health care interactions and face-to-face consultations.…”

Delivery of Dietary and Lifestyle Interventions in Pregnancy: is it Time to Promote the Use of Electronic and Mobile Health Technologies?

Fifty percent of women who enter pregnancy are overweight or obese, increasing complications for both the mother and the infant, along with significant burden on individuals and the health care system. Pregnancy represents a "teachable moment" in a woman's life, however, antenatal interventions focusing on improving dietary and physical activity patterns have been associated with modest behavior change. There are many barriers that need to be overcome, including lack of knowledge, access and time pressures. Advancing mobile and electronic health technologies may represent an adjunct tool to support traditional face-to-face consultations and facilitate behavior change, but further rigorous evaluation of the technologies and their impact on health outcomes is required. Well-designed antenatal intervention trials with particular attention to the structure and method of information provision are required to further assess the feasibility of such technology.
