Abstract

A web-based telehealthcare system was integrated with the mobile application for diet people. In order to comprehensively deal with the over-weight problem, the user interface with four important aspects on weight, diet, exercise and sleep records is implemented. In addition, online courses and knowledge of diet are provided in the system. The electronic medical record of National Taiwan University Hospital is also embedded in the system for the case managers and doctors to evaluate the status of the over-weight patients. We utilized Pearson´s Correlation Coefficient which represented the correlative degree of two variables to discover the relationship between the reduced weight of people and their lifestyle records. We found that three aspects of records (compliancy, violation, exercise) were important for people who wanted to lose weight.
