MOBILE APPLICATION FOR DIABETES MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Health is a multi-dimensional build with various viewpoints just as different determinants. Among elements that could impact the health result is the sufficiency of health administrations which in numerous settings are intended to be accessible, moderate, open, and proper just as being fairly conveyed. Also Prevalent is the poor health care system being delivered in most health care centers, particularly in the aspect of monitoring and managing diabetic patients in Nigeria, the main focus of this work is to design a cross platform mobile application for proper diabetic management and monitoring in Nigeria. And its main objective is to design a mobile based application for diabetes management and compare the designed application with existing ones. A mobile application called Diacare for diabetes management was developed using Ionic framework. Ionic Creator was used in building a user interface by dragging and dropping ready-made components. It was implemented in designing the final appearance of the application. The ionic view makes it very easy for users to run and share developed apps to multiple devices using simple command and before they are transferred to the official market store Ionic Market was used in sharing the mobile applications, charging a fee to download it. In addition, it has credible user support along with documentation for useful information. Ionic lab for testing newly developed application on and android and IOS Ionic resource provides a documentation to showcase how easily one can learn and grasp it use on mobile platforms. It was concluded that even with the current rapid development and increased use of modern technologies, mobile applications for diabetes shows that existing solutions do not provide a comprehensive service about maximum adherence hence self-monitoring is a requirement for the proper education of people with diabetes. Better education increases adherence, i.e., the extent to which patient behavior (drug use, compliance with regimens) coincides with medical advice or medical standards
