Abstract

A mobile healthcare application is a healthcare software application designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphone and tablet computers. Mobile healthcare applications have enormous potential for monitoring and care everyday living of patient with chronic disease. In fact, mobile healthcare applications are found to be active in various fields. However, the development is rarely done in Korean medicine field. The aim of this study was to develop the healthcare application based on the tongue diagnosis. The process included planning, designing, programming, and revising. Through a pilot study, the application was found the improvement requirement, and to be usable in the real-life settings.

모바일 건강관리 애플리케이션은 스마트폰과 태블릿 컴퓨터와 같은 모바일 장비로 구동되는 건강관리 소프트웨어 애플리케이션이다. 모바일 건강관리 애플리케이션은 만성질환을 호소하는 환자들의 일상적인 생활을 관리하고 모니터링 함에 있어 많은 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 그러나 한의학분야에서는 개발이 미비한 편이다. 이 연구의 목적은 한의학의 설진에 기반한 모바일 건강관리 애플리케이션을 개발하는 것으로, 개발 과정은 계획 수립, 디자인, 프로그래밍, 수정보완으로 구성되어있다. 또한 예비실험을 통해 애플리케이션의 개선사항과 생활에서의 사용 가능성을 확인하였다.
