Abstract

The authors' context-aware interactive mobile-health (m-health) system (ImHS) provides real-time, two-way communication between diabetes patients and caregivers by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology. When a diabetic patient records abnormal blood sugar values during measurement, the ImHS sends a reminder to the patient and caregivers, motivating behavior change and improving the quality of chronic care. The ImHS features user-friendly interfaces for patients, family, and professional caregivers that lets them rapidly understand the patient's health status. In this study, the authors look at ImHS use in diabetes care. However, the ImHS can be easily adapted for integration into other healthcare systems.
