mHealth: A Secure Health Monitoring System for Diabetes

ABSTRACT

Several organizations have used remote healthcare monitoring solutions using Mobile phone technologies either as Android and or iOS. Such mobile applications are much cheaper to keep the elderly and people who have chronic and infectious diseases (such as pneumonia, COVID-19, SARS, Chest diseases, diabetes and others) in their own homes rather than in health-care facilities. The purpose of this project is to combine state wide detailed health data and mobile data using Flutter Mobile technology. The proposed project will mainly include an analytics component combining health factors and social network analysis to develop health monitoring tool for chronic diseases such as diabetes. It should be noted that a development of a remote monitoring prototype is described and called a Secure Health Monitoring System for Diabetes (SHMSD). Nowadays smartphones such as Android, IOS, Micro Windows and Huawei mobile phones are programmable and include a collection of cheap powerful embedded sensors (such as an accelerometer digital compass gyroscope GPS microphone and camera) which are enabling the emergence of personal and community scale sensing applications. Therefore the sensor-equipped mobile phones are revolutionize the healthcare and social networks sectors. The proposed system combines a Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS) with the ability to remotely access the information from anywhere. Security issues related to such monitoring are also discussed. © 2022 IEEE.
