“…(18) Therefore, functionalities related to health education in the applications play an important role in self-care management in chronic conditions, since adolescents' knowledge and skills are improved. (14) Health education can influence positively, as insulin injection in inappropriate parts of the body, lack of nutritional knowledge and carbohydrate counting techniques are factors frequently related to lack of confidence and consequently, to treatment failure. (5) These factors suggest that applications should have resources to guide adolescents on how to properly administer insulin and monitor glycemic levels, reporting signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and forms of acting in each situation hence minimizing insecurities and collaborating in diabetes management.…”

Objective: To examine the functionalities of mobile applications for self-care of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Integrative review targeting articles in journals indexed in the following databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, Latin American Health Sciences Literature, PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Scopus, and Web of Science in the period between 2012 and 2017 using the following descriptors and their respective descriptors in English and Spanish: mobile applications, self-care and type 1diabetes mellitus. Results: Databank query yielded 248 articles, out of which 12 articles met the selection criteria and were included in the final analysis. Applications were examined in terms of functionalities catering for glycemic control, insulin therapy, diet, physical activity, sentiment analysis and social relationships. No article reported on an application featuring all of the examined functionalities. Conclusion: Mobile application functionalities were pointed out as essential aids in glycemic control of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. ResumoObjetivo: Examinar os recursos de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis destinados ao autocuidado de adolescentes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1. Métodos: Revisão integrativa por meio da busca de artigos nos periódicos indexados nas bases de dados: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde, PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Scopus, e Web of Science no período de 2012 a 2017, utilizando os seguintes descritores: aplicativos móveis, autocuidado e diabetes mellitus tipo 1, bem como respectivos descritores em inglês e espanhol. Resultados: A busca gerou um total de 248 artigos, dos quais 12 artigos atenderam os critérios de seleção. Os recursos dos aplicativos foram examinados a partir das funções de controle glicêmico, insulinoterapia, alimentação, atividade física, abordagem dos sentimentos e relações sociais. Observou-se que nenhum artigo descreveu um aplicativo que integrasse todos os recursos examinados. Conclusão: Os recursos de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis foram apontados como necessários para auxiliar no controle glicêmico de adolescentes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1.

Remote monitoring of health can reduce frequent hospitalisations, diminishing the burden on the healthcare system and cost to the community. Patient monitoring helps identify symptoms associated with diseases or disease-driven disorders, which makes it an essential element of medical diagnoses, clinical interventions, and rehabilitation treatments for severe medical conditions. This monitoring can be expensive and time-consuming and provide an incomplete picture of the state of the patient. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the adoption of mobile and wearable devices, along with the introduction of smart textile solutions that offer the possibility of continuous monitoring. These alternatives fuel a technology shift in healthcare, one that involves the continuous tracking and monitoring of individuals. This scoping review examines how mobile, wearable, and textile sensing technology have been permeating healthcare by offering alternate solutions to challenging issues, such as personalised prescriptions or home-based secondary prevention. To do so, we have selected 222 healthcare literature articles published from 2007 to 2019 and reviewed them following the PRISMA process under the schema of a scoping review framework. Overall, our findings show a recent increase in research on mobile sensing technology to address patient monitoring, reflected by 128 articles published in journals and 19 articles in conference proceedings between 2014 and 2019, which represents 57.65% and 8.55% respectively of all included articles.

“…With recent advances in connectivity technologies, there are some efforts to build tools based on cloud computing [32] or social network support [33,34]. One disadvantage of these tools is that they always require Internet connectivity at all times, which makes them useless in places with connectivity problems.…”

Medical Assistant Mobile Application for Diabetes Control by Simulating a Compartmental Model

et al. 2020

This paper presents an educational mobile assistant application for type 1 diabetes patients. The proposed application is based on four mathematical models that describe the glucose-insulin-glucagon dynamics using a compartmental model, with additional equations to reproduce aerobic exercise, gastric glucose absorption by the gut, and subcutaneous insulin absorption. The medical assistant was implemented in Java and deployed and validated on several smartphones with Android OS. Multiple daily doses can be simulated to perform intensive insulin therapy. As a result, the proposed application shows the influence of exercise periods, food intakes, and insulin treatments on the glucose concentrations. Four parameter variations are studied, and their corresponding glucose concentration plots are obtained, which show agreement with simulators of the state of the art. The developed application is focused on type-1 diabetes, but this can be extended to consider type-2 diabetes by modifying the current mathematical models.
