Abstract
The advancement in mobile technology has led towards a new frontier of medical intervention that never been thought possible before. Through the development of MedsBox Reminder (MBR) application for Android as a pilot project of M-Health, health care information system for patient selfmanagement is made possible. The application acts as an assistant to remind users for their timely medicine intake by notifying them through their mobile phone. MedsBox Reminder application aims to facilitate in the self-management of patient's health where they can monitor and schedule their own medicine intake more efficiently. Development of the application is performed using Android Studio 1.4, Android SDK, MySQL database, SQLite, Java language and Netbeans IDE 8.1. Object-Oriented System Development (OOSD) methodology has been adapted to facilitate the development of the application.
Highlights
Non-communicable disease such as diabetic, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and hypertension continues to increase in the communities worldwide [1]
The methodology used for the development of MedsBox Reminder application is Object-Oriented System Development (OOSD) which consists of four phases: i) object-oriented requirement analysis, ii) object-oriented design, iii) object-oriented implementation, and iv) object-oriented testing
Unified Modelling Languages (UML) are used as a method of designing activities involved in MedsBox Reminder which consists of use cases, sequence diagrams and class activity diagrams
Summary
Non-communicable disease such as diabetic, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and hypertension continues to increase in the communities worldwide [1]. And close relatives could act as a mediator for patients in monitoring their health. Most patients are elderly people, who tend to ignore their schedule medicine intake and could result in a severe health relapse.
