Mobile Applications for Diabetes Self-Care and Approach to Machine Learning

Abstract

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Diabetes is a silent disease, the number of people who suffer from it increases daily, it is unfortunate that many young people develop this condition and do not know that they suffer from it. So much so that this disease is the fifth cause of death in Panama. Using software technologies applied to areas such as health every day is increasing. Scientific research in health areas, as well as the development of new technologies that involve smartphones and sensors, is making health self-care possible. Currently, interest in mobile health (mHealth) applications for disease self-care is growing. The innovation of technological tools associated with artificial intelligence is increasing every day. Among its most radical trends is machine learning, whose function is to develop techniques that allow computers to learn. This learning occurs through the data that can be provided to the algorithms responsible for categorizing. Therefore, this research aims to analyze mobile applications specifically those focused on diabetes, to propose an emerging systematic model of medical care for self-management of patients with diabetes and, finally, achieve a reliable data set with Panamanian patient data to apply machine-learning models and see how much we can help Panamanian doctors. </span></p>

Context-aware Based Personalized Recommendation on Mobile for Monitoring Excessive Sugar Consumption of Thai Adolescents

“…For example, a mobile application framework called SleepCare has been proposed for screening and managing the sleep cycle [15]. Many mobile applications have been developed for self-management purposes, especially for chronic conditions such as diabetes [9,16,17] and cardiovascular disease [18]. For diabetes, mHealth [9] is an important example.…”

Proposal of a Context-sensitive ECG Collection Mobile Health System for Ambulatory Cardiovascular Diseases

“…Mobile applications can assist in health-related tasks, including clinical data collection. These applications allow professionals to monitor patients’ health, verify and exchange information, and identify health problems ( 10 ). This work is organized as follows: the presentation of a first prototype of a system called university clinic for the Technological University of Panama (2020), whose objective is to build a registry (electronic record) to record the ailments that afflict students, professors, and administrative staff; the first prototype uses the international classification of diseases (ICD-10) ( 11 ) for the categorization of diseases of participants; however, the new prototype system has a more updated version oriented toward mhealth technologies based on ICD-11 ( 12 ).…”

Towards a Model of Big Health Care Data Analytics in Panama: Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Mobile applications can help in the practice of health-related activities such as the collection of clinical data. These applications can help professionals to monitor the health status of their patients, verify and share information, and perform diagnoses of various health problems ( 7 ). The more sensors a device contains, the larger the amounts of data that can be collected.…”
