Abstract
During the mobile technology's global expansion, the widespread use of internet-enabled smartphones on all countries and especially in Asia Minor/Iraqi community has increased dramatically, as mobile applications became a key area of interest among physicians and patients in this society. Also, there are applications available that help healthcare providers, but these applications have limited possibilities and don’t have communication, monitoring, or other functions of healthcare. Physicians and patients turn to social media applications in the healthcare process. If we speak about Asia Minor, especially Iraq there are very few applications and related research that facilitates electronic health. Therefore, due to the conditions and requirements of the Iraqi health environment a healthcare solution called "MediCare" system that provides a medical social platform that facilitates interaction between hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients has been developed. In this paper we present the implementation of the MediCare system together with its general architecture.
Highlights
Healthcare organizations seek to develop Web and Mobile applications for the mobile healthcare environment to facilitate communication between users while improving healthcare services, quality, and safety [1].In addition, the lower prices and advancements in the software and hardware capabilities of portable medical devices, bracelets, and smartphones, have contributed to a large expansion of the mobile technology and related industries
Smartphones, mobile applications, computers, and web applications have brought physicians' attention, as well as patients' worldwide, as the medical and patient-oriented applications available on these devices enable the physicians at the care point to get the information needed for diagnosing, treating, and controlling different patient’s health conditions and diseases [4]
During the mobile technology's global expansion, the widespread use of internet-enabled smartphones on all countries and especially in Asia Mino/Iraqi community has increased dramatically, as mobile applications became a key area of interest among physicians and patients in this society [5]
Summary
Healthcare organizations seek to develop Web and Mobile applications for the mobile healthcare environment to facilitate communication between users (patients and medical staff) while improving healthcare services, quality, and safety [1]. Modern smartphones and computers have greater computing power, GPS sensors, and permanent connectivity to the internet and wireless networks [2] This has led to the development of a large number of health apps over the last few years [3]. During the mobile technology's global expansion, the widespread use of internet-enabled smartphones on all countries and especially in Asia Mino/Iraqi community has increased dramatically, as mobile applications became a key area of interest among physicians and patients in this society [5]. Due to the conditions and requirements of the Iraqi health environment a healthcare solution called "MediCare" system that provides a medical social platform that facilitates interaction between hospitals, clinics, physicians, and patients has been developed.
