MoSHCA - my mobile and smart health care assistant

MoSHCA is a mHealth project designed to improve patient-doctor interaction and to promote the self-management of chronic diseases by the patients themselves. The number of people with a chronic disease is dramatically increasing worldwide. This is becoming a major obstacle for economic stability and growth and the sustainability of national health care systems. The introduction of self-management by patients with a chronic disease seems inevitable as a countermeasure against these developments. MoSHCA provides intelligent, user-friendly and secure, medical and well-being decision support through embedded software in mobile devices by utilizing specific sensors and data from customized information systems.
