MyVitalWallet - I Bring My (Own) Health

Nowadays, the widespread use of mobile technologies boosts the development of a great number of mobile applications related to health care. Although, the majority of them are not adapted to the end-users needs. This way, many of them are not being used since the users do not consider these applications useful to their daily life. In this context, this paper describes a mobile application that intends to stimulate users to correct and maintain their healthy conditions by keeping vital and analytic parameters under surveillance. The researchers’ main purpose was to develop an application adapted to the end-users needs, so a user-centred design approach was used. The application enables users to register, check, analyse and keep track. Also, the application gives feedback about values related to biometric and biomedical parameters, like glycaemic index, blood pressure level or weight. All these results have further shared them with healthcare professionals. The end-user tests show an effective, efficient and user-friendly application.
