CAMARGO ARIZA, Luis L.; RIVERA OSPINO, Miguel J.  and  MEDINA DELGADO, Byron. MHealth service to supervise blood glucose level and blood pressure. EAC [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.2, pp.62-72. ISSN 1815-5928.

This paper presents a proposal for mHealth system, for patients who need or wish to have regular monitoring of measurements of blood pressure and glucose; persons with hypertensive, diabetic, hypoglycemic, athletes, pregnant women, among others. The system allows users to use their mobile phone as a tool for a first diagnosis, taking into account the values obtained from the sensors readings and normal ranges for each body scale. Additionally, the patient can send the information to a database through the network mobile operator and free local networks or send a text message to the doctor with the data in case of an emergency. The system allows the doctor to make the diagnosis considering the data stored by the user and advise the patient via a text message.
