Summary of proposal

    With the increasing number of people who are aware of their health and body image, mobile health could exactly tackle at those specific areas. I bought a Fitbit device one month ago, and I already benefitted a lot from wearing it. For example, I could track my calories intake, activities level and my sleeping cycle. It also reminds me to move when I am sedentary for a long time. Thus, it arouse my interest in discovering more about how mobile health devices and apps could benefit the healthy people to maintain health as well as patients to become healthier.

    There remains some issues with the mobile health device. The biggest issue is privacy of the data collected by m-health companies. People are concerned about the leakage of their data leakage for companies' personal use. Another issue is the adherence to the m-health devices. While Fitbit is a easy tracker that can be wore on the wrist, many other devices such as iHealth blood pressure is can result in low adherence due to its complexity. The third issue is the immaturity of the market. Apps are still underdeveloped and not addressing specific problems patients have. I am looking forward to research for potential ways to resolve these problems.

    From your proposal, a third question might be, why aren't more doctors and patients using mobile devices.  Many readings on the topic.  See Week 9 for some examples.  Also references from Ch. 11. Go to http://www.informaticseducation.org/resource-center and download Ch. 11.

    When you say "analyze data" do you mean actual data or literature?

    Not sure people need to be trained to use their mobile device.  If the interface is not usable, that is a design issue.

    Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

Final project

In addition to the second project proposal, I have examined the key issues existing in the current wearable technology. I found that big companies such as Fitbit has set some sorts of rules despite no regulation or policies the government has set for wearable devices. Here is the commitment from Fitbit's R&D team: “Consumer-facing entities that collect health data about individuals must consider privacy and security in all aspects of development and deployment of their products. R&D is not just to create revenue or test boundaries, but also to establish a company’s reputation as both an innovator and trusted institution.” (Insights from Fitbit’s R&D Team) Using data to develop a better product is the key to Fitbit's. Fitbit has different policies for data protection based on the projects. For hack project, Fitbit will normally finish them in less than twelve hours with users' data compared with two to three years in a real project. After the goal of the data u

Cell-Phone Medicine Brings Care To Patients in Developing Nations

In Mexico, many health IT companies are starting to use the internet and availability of mobile phones to help people, especially help them stick to the drugs they are taking. As a developing country, it is still expensive for the majority of people to get primary care. Mobile health is a much cheaper alternative to them. There are several reasons that mobile phones are helping people stick to the schedule better. VidaNET, the technology system, sends the reminders to their patients at least twice in a day to take the drugs. This becomes essential for HIV patients because they need to be very consistent with the anti-retrovirus drugs. Since people are more addicted to the phones than drugs, sending reminders through text becomes a very cheap but useful ways for physicians.
