Design and Implementation of a Mobile Healthcare Management Platform Based on Joomla and WeChat

Abstract

For effective and convenient mobile healthcare management, we have designed and implemented a web-based healthcare management system to manage physiological data collected by Android app. The users can check their records and share them to their friends using a famous social network software called WeChat in China. A lot of different kind of wearable health monitoring devices and relevant app emerged in the market in recent years, but there isn’t a universal health data management platform which can manage different physiological data collected from different devices. This paper aims to build a mobile healthcare management platform (MHMP) based on Joomla and WeChat to manage different health data collected from different health monitoring devices. A MHMP prototype has been implemented based on Joomla, Apache, MySQL and WeChat. The laboratory tests show that the prototype MHMP has the advantage of managing different source health data very conveniently and effectively.
