mHealth: Monitoring Platform for Diabetes Patients

Abstract Diabetes is a metabolic disease that can be explained by the high level of glucose in the blood. Constant monitoring of patients with this type of disease is crucial to the success of their treatment due to the high number of factors that condition it, such as nutrition, exercise and insulin production. This research consists of a software development project based on mHealth practice, which aims to cover all the needs of patients and health professionals, introducing improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and control of endocrine pathology, as well as improvements in hospital management. The web platform should be able to send a warning to the healthcare professional in cases where a patient’s recorded level exceeds normal values and contain all the patient’s records. The aim is to provide support to treatment, monitoring and data collection based on IoT principles, where medical devices allow communication between machines and interaction between them, sharing and managing data. The healthcare professional will have the necessary information to assess the health status of his patient and, if necessary, make some changes to improve the patient’s daily routines.
