Blood glucose individualized prediction for type 2 diabetes using iPhone application

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is now the most rapidly growing form of diabetes and has become increasingly common among children. This paper presents our work of implementing an individualized real time predictive system for blood glucose in type 2 diabetes in an iPhone application. The developed application, called HealthiManage, provides relevant feedback to patients at each glucose input reading comparing the measured and predicted readings, facilitating improved self-management of the disease. The application incorporates activity recognition via a built-in accelerometer on the iPhone, which monitors any physical activity and adjusts predictions accordingly. Also, a reward component interface was incorporated that is intended to enhance patient compliance and encourage mainly teenagers to take control and improve their blood glucose regulation.The individualized prediction algorithm was tested and verified with real patient data. Different physical activities were also examined and classified for an accurate activity recognition component. The designed application with its predictive model, activity recognition, and other elements provide what we believe to be helpful feedback to monitor and manage type 2 diabetes and improve patient compliance.

Mobile Healthcare Systems: Generating Dynamic Smartphone Apps to Serve Multiple Medical Specializations - Assisting Monitoring Patient@Home and Health Record Follow-up

“…Benefits of m-Health Applications and Solutions are widely known and accepted. Many existing applications meet the needs of individual specialties in medicine (Chemlal et al, 2011) and work in similar ways, whether they are stand-alone applications or they work online. These applications usually have common characteristics; they record critical medical data and communicate with other applications in an effort to solve a health issue.…”

“…The need for such applications is apparent in every major online market for mobile applications including Android Market, Apple Store, and Samsung Apps. Applications developed for cardiology record blood pressure and cardiac pulses, applications for diabetes record blood glucose [16], and for obesity, they record calories and diet [17], for dementia they use GPS to monitor the patient [18,19], and applications for chronic diseases target mobile phones with sensors and detect tachycardia or respiratory infections [20].…”
