A mobile learning application for self-management of health and disease

Supporting self-management of patients is a highly challenging task, which needs to meaningfully exploit and interrelate approaches and technologies concerning interactive communication, personalized health and mobile learning. In line with these remarks, this paper reports on the development of an innovative clinical decision support platform for self-management of health and disease purposes. Work presented focuses on two basic components of the platform, namely a web-based collaboration support tool and a mobile application, both aiming to augment the interaction of all types of stakeholders with the platform. The functionality of the above components is sketched through a realistic use case.
