Abstract

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the world, which is often attributed to lack of prompt treatment or patient neglect, a situation that, in addition to hospitalization, requires regular follow-up. This study involves developing a mobile health system (mHealth) that allows remote monitoring of diabetic patients using wireless mobile technologies to improve the quality of life of people with this condition. The monitoring system consists of a glucometer from which the data is taken and entered into the Android application installed on the patient's smartphone. Clinical data is stored and sent through the mobile phone network to a web server in the cloud for the physician to access through its application and make observations of the patient in real-time.
