Cancer Care Management through a Mobile Phone Health Approach: Key Considerations

“…gov/). Mobile devices provide opportunities and play an important role in consulting, diagnosis, treatment (World Health Organization, 2011: http://www.who.int/ goe/publications/goe_mhealth_web), chronic disease management such as cancer (Strandbygaard et al, 2010), patient empowerment (Suter et al, 2011), quick access to health information (Prgomet et al, 2009), medical education and research (Pawar et al, 2012), and rapid establishment of communication regardless of distance restraints (Warren et al, 2011). Also easy to carry and quick access to cancer information on mobile devices make them perfect tools for healthcare providers in cancer care management.…”

Technical Trends and Challenges in Mobile Health - A Systematic Review of Recent Available Literature

“…In fact, despite technology advances, we found that in several cases batteries do not last long enough to cover an entire work day in such circumstancese.g. Siebra et al (2011), Warren et al (2011), Pandey et al (2012), Lagerspetz and Tarkoma (2011), Alamri (2012). The remote processing of data is a growing trend as we shall see later in section 3.10.…”

“…As a first example, Masse et al (2010) use a smartphone as a gateway to collect bio-signal data from sensors and further present it to the doctor or patient. Other studies (Pigadas et al, 2011;Lara et al, 2012;Warren et al, 2011) and (Al-Taee et al, 2011) propose monitoring systems in which the sensor data is gathered by the smartphone and then sent to a remote server for processing and storage.…”

Platform of Services to the Support and Development of Applications for Care Activities

“…Furthermore, through innovative monitoring devices, there is a considerable effort to develop suitable services to manage psychosocial information, information generated by the care receivers and their informal caregivers, and information resulting from automatic data gathering about individuals and their environments. Despite all these developments, most of the times dedicated database solutions are being used to persist this information, without considering the available standards for semantic interoperability (eg (3,5) ).…”
