Mobile systems help observation of child patients in their treatment process and the collection of health data on the course. Therefore, people will be more aware of their children´s health problems and preventive measures in accordance with those health problems. This article is on Mobile Pediatric Consultation and Monitoring System (mPCMS). Details of design and operation are given in this article. Mpcms not only will assist doctors but also help patients in decision making process of the medical treatment due to the information´s ease use. Accordingly, with mPCMS, there will be a contribution to distant consultation by the doctor and the family by collecting the health data before and after the treatment of child patients.
