The U.S. Army explored using mobile phones within the military healthcare system (Poropatich et al., 2010). Ronald et al. used a video cell phone reminder system to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The reminder system prompted the users to take medications and check their blood glucose. They evaluated the result through a trial for twelve weeks. Two groups of people were included in the trial, a group that used the system, and a control group that did not. A1C level, which was an indicator that reflected the average blood glucose level over the past three months, was
significantly lower in the group that viewed the reminders. It was argued that mobile devices were superseding desktop and even laptop computers as the tool of choice for communication. In this study, they provided mobile phones for trial users. However, users preferred to use their own phones. So sometimes they missed the reminders because they did not carry the extra phone with them. This paper also claimed that compliance of the health care system could be improved if reminders were placed on the patients’ personal cell phones. In this project, the mobile phone worked as a reminder receiver.
