Description of Technology

The Kenkou  iPhone App allows end users to track vital health measurements and to alert others to those changes.  It's an opportunity for patients to provide closer to real-time health statistics to health care providers, family members or other stakeholders.  The Kenkou (Japanese for "healthy") App allows users to input health statistics like blood sugar and blood pressure while also tracking health habits like exercise or food consumption.  That information can then be emailed to whomever the user decides.  This can be used to track those with serious health problems, or by those looking to keep a running "health diary" of their life.

Use Case 

Primary Actor - Patient suffering from Diabetes due to Obesity.

Goal - To track Patient's over all health habits to track effectiveness of diet and exercise on blood sugar levels.

Procedure - The Patient downloads the Kenkou iPhone App to their iPhone (which ~everyone~ should own) and begins entering key statistics daily.  This information is gathered and tracked by the App and then sent to a list of stakeholders determined by the Patient.  That information is then sent, in table and graphic form, to those stakeholders.  A proper combination of diet and exercise can be found to help create individualized lifestyle plans for unique Patients.
