Integrating Location-Based Services into a Personal Health Hub Mobile Application

Abstract

In this era, the synergy between advancements in medical and communication technologies has revolutionized health awareness and information accessibility. While official channels like healthcare facilities and online medical resources facilitate informed decision-making, there exists a risk associated with self-diagnosis based on incomplete or inaccurate information. Therefore, it remains imperative for individuals to seek professional medical guidance to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, accessing comprehensive health records, including past treatments and medical histories, can pose challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. This research endeavors to address this issue by developing an application that empowers individuals to access and manage their complete health information efficiently. The envisioned application will enable users to import and review various health-related data, such as medical procedures, medications, allergies, and lifestyle habits. Furthermore, it will integrate data from government healthcare insurance systems and provide location-based information about hospitals within the national healthcare network, including details and directions. In summary, this research initiative aims to design a user-friendly application that enhances healthcare efficiency by providing individuals with seamless access to their comprehensive health data, thereby facilitating informed decision-making and improving overall health outcomes.
