Abstract
The proportion of diabetic people in society has increased rapidly in recent decades, together
with unhealthful lifestyle, how to achieve quality of life for the remaining years of the
chronic condition has gained global attention. Achieving this goal requires long-range
planning in an effort to understand the needs of diabetic people and provide assistance
service for their self management.
Technology has accumulated years of research results in improving health promotion
and chronic care, and mobile technology and mobile applications have become indispensable
in everyday living such as traveling, exercising, and healthful dieting. This research project
intends – by means of mobile technology – to develop a smart mobile service for the (pre-)
diabetic people in assisting their self management effectiveness.
The two-year research project proposes to (1) understand, in depth, the needs of both
diabetic patients and healthcare providers in managing diabetes condition, as well as their
cognition, attitude, and skills in using mobile technology; (2) explore factors that affect their
using mobile technology and support services in their self management behaviors; (3)
develop a smart mobile assistance service in improving the self management outcomes for
the diabetic people, based on user-centered design and the American National Standards for
Diabetes Self-management Training (AADE7TM); and (4) evaluate the effectiveness of the
“smart mobile self management assistance service” in improving self management outcomes
and behavior change as well as, usability in using this service.
