Abstract

Purpose:
In recent years, mobile phones and intelligent instruments have become important technologies to deliver health care around the world.These technologies can be used for health control and self-management of people with chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS. This study was a development research to determine the data requirements and technical capabilities of a mobile-based self-management intelligent system for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH).
Methods:
A review was conducted in relevant databases including PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, and Web of Science to find appropriate sources of technical requirements and data elements of a mobile-based self-management system for PLWH. In the second stage, the infectious disease specialists and health information management consulted by the questionnaire for system requirements.
Results:
Three categories of requirements, including demographic and clinical data elements and technical capabilities for system design were determined. Medication reminding, educational messages providing, diet reminding, security requirements, internet access, and Appointment reminding were the most important technical requirements of mobile-based self-management system for people living with HIV. Furthermore, clinical data elements of the system in order of priority were: fever, weight loss, diarrhea, loss of appetite, joint pain, and the first signs of disease.
Conclusion:
The requirements for the design and implementation of an intelligent system to support mobile-based self-management for PLWH were obtained. Using these requirements, designing self-management system architecture will be possible. The system features such as the ability to provide care plan will be specific to each person uniquely. Using this system, may improve the patient's self-management skills and facilitate PLWH communication with health care providers.
