Abstract

The use of mobile applications for healthcare has become a focal point of innovation that could aid patients in their everyday healthcare management. Mobile applications can contribute to increasing the effectiveness and reducing the costs of healthcare delivery as well as preventing illnesses through behaviour change. This paper presents model of an interactive mobile healthcare application that facilitates the needs between doctors and patients. The proposed mobile application will provide optimal communication to several parties in the healthcare sector such as patients, doctors and pharmacists for better healthcare services and delivery. The software development methodology adopted was Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM). Our mobile application is developed for Android platform and HTML, CSS and JS were used at the front-end while Angula JS, PHP and MYSQL powered the back-end.

Summary

Introduction

Healthcare is an environment that has been experiencing dramatic progress in computing technology in order to process and distribute all relevant patient information electronically and overall to improve the quality of care. The benefits of such applications are numerous with the main one being improvements in access to medical resources and care. Though there have been cases of mobile workstations being implemented at small medical units to facilitate easier access to specialist medical advice, most of the applications have been introduced to support patients at home [1]. These could either be patient-centred where patients and/or caretakers are given direct access to a mobile phone for communicating with the provider (e.g. nurse, doctor, counsellor etc.), or nurse-centred where nurses who visit and care patients at home have direct access to mobile applications and for communicating with other medical staff
