Requirements specification of an e-health solution to improve cardiovascular healthcare services in Morocco

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths in the world. By analyzing data from health records this chronic disease can be better understood. This paper presents the software requirements specification (SRS) of an e-health solution to improve the cardiology healthcare quality and efficiency in Morocco. Based on this SRS, a mobile personal health record along with an electronic health record have been developed for the Autonomic Nervous System centre in Avicenne Hospital in Rabat. Requirements and characteristics of the mobile solution are detailed in this study. Moreover, an empirical evaluation has been conducted to assess and improve the quality of the mobile personal health record using the ISO/IEC 25010 standard.
