The Design and Implementation of a Mobile Healthcare System with AppleWatch For Seniors (MyHealth)

Abstract

In this thesis, we developed and implemented a mobile Healthcare app, called MyHealth, on the iPhone with Apple watch to help seniors to manage their health life. MyHealth reminds the users to take their medicine and records the dosage they take. MyHealth measures the heart rate and notifies the user’s emergency contacts when the heart rate becomes above or under a certain threshold. The notification can be a call, SMS, email, or a combination of them. The users choose the contacts when he sets up the MyHealth app. MyHealth reminds the users to move and exercise and it tracks the user movement. MyHealth records the data that collected from the heart rate measurement and sends these data to the user’s physician weekly to monitor their health. Preliminary tests show the MyHealth is achieving all its functionality the watch is measuring the heart rate each 30 minutes if it found that the heart rate is above or under the normal level it notifies the user and then it alerts his emergency contact by calling and texting. Medicine reminder notification shows on iPhone primarily and the watch if the iPhone was locked the user can choose if he took the medicine that this task is complete or should the App reminds him in 30 minutes. There are Notifications to remind the user to move twice a day if he can choose complete the App will start tracking if he moves his legs or not as if he walks or runs or he can delay this for 30 minutes also. By the end of the day the user should press the Email button to send his heart rate measurement reads to his doctor by entering his Email address.
