Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe the design and implementation of a Personal Health Record System (PHR-S) for supporting monitoring of blood glucose in diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. The paper describes a survey applied in order to elicit the specific ICT needs of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 patients. Based on the requirements, a web application "GlucoseDataManager" was implanted and integrated into a local deployed IndivoHealth PHR-S platform.
