Abstract :
Hypotension and hypertension are chronic diseases, which can be effectively prevented and controlled by constantly monitoring. In this study, personalized healthcare comment service for hypertension patients is proposed and implemented. We have developed algorithms of health state code generation and doctor´s comments for patients on case-by-case basis. This prototype service shows how such personalized comments can manage patients with hypertension using blood pressure monitor and mobile device.
