Building Digital Knowledge System Through Mobile Interfaces: The Case Study Of Mobile Application For Diabetes Management

Very high adoption of mobile phones enables the possibility of using mobile phones to empower type 2 diabetes patients to self-manage their diabetic condition by providing timely information in right context through the mobile application, thus facilitating them to make informed decisions. Having identified the lack of such information is badly affecting type 2 patients we embarked on a project to develop a mobile-based information system. Iterative development of interfaces for the mobile application was carried out and its relevance evaluated.
