A Mobile Health Monitoring Solution for Weight Control
Obesity is a serious public health concern in the current society, mainly, in developed countries. Common and key treatments for obesity include dieting and frequent physical activity. But more important, it requires a strong individual discipline, motivation, and constant monitoring of the food intake. This paper presents SapoFitness, a mobile health application for a dietetic monitoring and assessment. SapoFitness is customized to its user keeping a daily personal health record (PHR) of his/her food intake and daily exercise. This PHR contains vital health information that will evaluate the nutritional state of the patient (user). The application supports continuous user monitoring and sends alerts/messages concerning his/her diet program taking into account his/her physical activity. SapoFitness is a challenged mobile application that delivers the action to the user, anytime and anywhere, motivating him for a healthier life style. The proposed system was evaluated in several Android-based mobile devices and it is ready for use.
