“…The education function can include resources from trusted websites [ 45 , 90 ], health information libraries [ 22 , 30 ], video resources [ 46 , 59 , 95 ], or government supported information [ 95 ]. The information can consist of lifestyle management [ 45 , 57 , 71 ], first-aid information [ 40 , 70 ], discharge instructions [ 31 ], surgical procedure [ 77 ], physical activities guidance [ 96 ], or health-specific education such as pregnancy [ 97 , 98 ], mental health [ 45 , 61 ], or chronic diseases–related education [ 90 , 95 ].

“…Patients can also manage their vital sign data such as temperature [26,44], blood pressure [30,33,44,58,66,67,70,72,85,90,98,101,103], blood glucose [30,58,66,70,72,85,86,98,103], and heart rate [90]. Patients can also monitor other self-health data such as sleep [33,66,95,100,101], period [33,100], moods [98,100,101], and stress [66,70,100]. These clinical measures enable calculation such as BMI [39,66,70,85,100], body fat percentage [70], waist-to-height ratio [70], calorie [70], cholesterol level [66,86], and glycemia…”

Background Functionalities of personal health record (PHR) are evolving, and continued discussions about PHR functionalities need to be performed to keep it up-to-date. Technological issues such as nonfunctional requirements should also be discussed in the implementation of PHR. Objective This study systematically reviewed the main functionalities and issues in implementing the PHR. Methods This systematic review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The search is performed using the online databases Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PubMed for English journal articles and conference proceedings published between 2015 and 2020. Results A total of 105 articles were selected in the review. Seven function categories were identified in this review, which is grouped into basic and advanced functions. Health records and administrative records were grouped into basic functions. Medication management, communication, appointment management, education, and self-health monitoring were grouped into advanced functions. The issues found in this study include interoperability, security and privacy, usability, data quality, and personalization. Conclusions In addition to PHR basic and advanced functions, other supporting functionalities may also need to be developed based on the issues identified in this study. This paper provides an integrated PHR architectural model that describes the functional requirements and data sources of PHRs.

“…In this context, the use of mHealth, i.e., mobile devices and applications to support the medical practice, has been transforming several aspects of the healthcare industry and proving to be quite promising and beneficial for health professionals, namely to help them execute their daily tasks, to manage and monitor patients, to access and manage clinical data, and to enhance the decision-making process, among others [17,19,21,22,23]. However, mHealth has not only been advantageous for healthcare providers but also for the consumers, allowing them to strengthen their communication with healthcare organizations [20,24].…”

Over the past few years, the rapidly aging population has been posing several challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. Consequently, in Portugal, nursing homes have been getting a higher demand, and health professionals working in these facilities are overloaded with work. Moreover, the lack of health information and communication technology (HICT) and the use of unsophisticated methods, such as paper, in nursing homes to clinically manage residents lead to more errors and are time-consuming. Thus, this article proposes a proof of concept of a mobile health (mHealth) application developed for the health professionals working in a Portuguese nursing home to support them at the point-of-care, namely to manage and have access to information and to help them schedule, perform, and digitally record their tasks. Additionally, clinical and performance business intelligence (BI) indicators to assist the decision-making process are also defined. Thereby, this solution aims to introduce technological improvements into the facility to improve healthcare delivery and, by taking advantage of the benefits provided by these improvements, lessen some of the workload experienced by health professionals, reduce time-waste and errors, and, ultimately, enhance elders’ quality of life and improve the quality of the services provided.

Pregnancy care is a topic of interest for both academia and practitioners. Novel pervasive technologies and applications, such as mobile technologies, wearables and IoT, open a wide corpus of possibilities for fostering pregnancy care management, and reducing risks and problems, improving communication among stakeholders and society development. This article introduces a model of a pregnancy care IT ecosystem based on the integration of various services in a semantically enriched e-health ecosystem. As proof of concept, both the web and mobile applications that aim to help pregnant women and gynaecologists were designed and employed in a real environment. An evaluation of the developed ecosystem was performed on a sample of 500 pregnant women and 100 doctors. After pilot usage, a survey was used to collect the data from participants, and assess the acceptance of the developed system. Results show that quality, usability and usefulness are on a high level, and that both pregnant women and doctors are ready for more extensive use of the system. In addition, research findings imply that employing pervasive technologies could bring significant benefits to all the parties in pregnancy care systems.
