A proposal for mobile diabetes self-control: Towards a patient monitoring framework

Abstract. In this paper, we present a proposal for Patients ’ Mobile Monitoring. This framework enables the definition and generation of profiles, modules and communication structures between each of the measuring devices and the mo-bile phone depending on the kind of condition and the measuring values of the patient. We use patterns to allow the generation of self-control modules and pa-tient profiles. These patterns establish relations between each module. With pa-tient’s measured data, patient profile and modules, the framework generates an application for the doctor and the patient in a mobile phone. These applications allow the monitoring, patient self-control and the communication between the patient and the doctor. Moreover, as an important study case, we present a mo-bile monitoring system which allows patients with diabetes to have a constant control of their glucose tendency as well as direct communication with their doctor
