“…The type of technology most used to monitor the health of older people is the smartphone, which incorporates sensors such as accelerometers, GPS or applications that can facilitate the health management of this population in the detection of daily activities [45,53], detection of falls or fragility [47]. In fact, mobile phones are the technology most used by older adults for browsing or consulting health information [4].…”

Mobile health technologies are becoming more common to assist older people in independent living and self-management of illnesses. Although many mobile health technologies can be beneficial to older users, there remains a dearth of evidence-informed guidance to develop such technologies. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to (1) determine which types of mobile health technologies have been used to monitor health in older adults, (2) determine whether these devices allow older users to visualize their data and to complement automatically gathered sensor information with subjective information or data from other sources, and (3) determine which health information about older adults is usually monitored. We performed a focused systematic literature review of the ACM Digital Library database, including papers specifically assessing the implementation of mobile health technologies (e.g., wearables), and other mobile computerized equipment for independent older adults. Our results show that the most commonly used device is the smartphone, that the monitored data is usually acceleration, heart rate and position, and that only 30.4% of studies evaluate devices for older adults with older adult participants.

“…The iPhone is equipped with an accelerometer, which can track movements and gestures of users. For instance, the iPhone uses the accelerometer to control applications such as a bowling game by enabling the user to swing or flick the device as if throwing an actual bowling ball [11]. The iPhone also supports natural input through the use of touchscreens.…”

“…However there is a trade-off between their portability and the nature of their display. So far, we have developed and tested two iPhone games which fulfill two purposes at once: therapy and monitoring, supporting patients to perform rehabilitation exercises involving the arm's joints and muscles [11]. Both games make use of the accelerometer.…”

Home telehealth applications are increasingly gaining in popularity among patients due their promise to use healthcare resources more effectively and hence to lower costs. Commercial telehealth systems usually employ patient stations and vital sign monitoring equipment in order to fulfill the need of medical professionals by enabling close monitoring of patients with severe chronic diseases. However, due their high cost, vendor lock-in, and doctor centric design, these systems are not suitable for general healthcare applications such as improving cardiac fitness, monitoring overall health, improving muscle strength and balance of elderly, or assisting with dieting programs. We argue that many of these goals can be supported in a cost effective manner by leveraging mainstream sensing devices such as game controllers and smartphones. Open-ended web-based telehealth systems can be integrated with such devices, in order to add a social component, collect health data unobtrusively, and provide feedback and health related information. In this paper, we systematically categorise and analyse consumer-level sensing devices in terms of their potential to extend the capability of telehealth systems. We show that the devices have immense potential as tools for therapy and rehabilitation activities, diagnosis, health monitoring and social support, and we reveal opportunities for professionals in computer vision, graphics and signal processing to participate in this trend.

“…These systems are mainly patient centric. Recent works explore the use of expert system [5], mobile game [6] and policy based data management [7] towards innovative patient health care support system. It should be noted that all these systems are provided as 'web service'.…”

Various web services are offered over the internet and forms the social infrastructure indispensable to our daily life. Many of healthcare systems developed so far are also offered as web service. However, user interface of web services that require web access makes obstacle to elderly or inexperienced users. As a mean to mitigate such digital divide, we developed a generic method of adding telephone interface to web service and implemented it to the self-care support system 'iSMBG' for lifestyle diseases. In our method, by making software PBX cooperate with web service, input/output to web service can be achieved by ordinary telephone device and users can talk with web service interactively. In parallel to implement telephone interface to iSMBG, we reorganized the architecture and data structure of the original iSMBG web system to be more flexible in adding new functions and data types. Evaluation experiment revealed that the proposed method endures practical use.
