Hem mobil uygulama teknolojilerinde ortaya çıkan modern gelişmeler hem de sağlık konusunun daha fazla önem kazanması ile mobil sağlık uygulamaları önemli bir araştırma ve geliştirme alanı statüsü kazanmıştır. Bu makalede, mobil sağlık uygulamaları konusuna genel bir bakış yapılmakta, başarı için önemli hususlar tartışılmakta ve iyileşmeye açık alanlar belirtilmektedir. Ek olarak, mobil sağlık uygulamaları bağlamında öne çıkan birtakım örneklere yer verilmektedir. Bu makalede ayrıca, mobil sağlık uygulamaları alanının mevcut durumu ve geleceğine yönelik bazı tespit ve değerlendirmelere yer verilmektedir. Bunlara ilave olarak, bu makalede, ofis çalışanları (bilgisayar veya masa başında bütün gün görece hareketsiz olarak çalışan altın veya beyaz yakalı çalışanlar) için daha sağlıklı bir çalışmayı desteklemek için tasarlanan HWOW (Ofis Çalışanları için Daha Sağlıklı Çalışma) adlı özgün bir mobil sağlık uygulaması takdim edilmektedir. Dahası, HWOW ile ilgili ne, nasıl ve neden sorularına verilen cevaplar, HWOW’ın geliştirme süreci hakkında bilgiler, asgari uygun ürüne karar vermek için uygulanan anket sonuçları, HWOW’ın benzer birtakım uygulamalardan farklılıkları ve HWOW’ın temel özellikleri konularında kapsamlı bilgiler bu makalede açıklanmaktadır. Bu makalenin mobil sağlık uygulamaları alanı ile ilgilenen uygulama geliştiriciler, politikacılar ve araştırmacılar için yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

An Overview of Mobile Health Applications and Development of an Original Mobile Health Application

Öz

Owing to the contemporary developments in mobile application technologies and the increasing importance of health, mobile health applications have gained the status of a noteworthy research and development space. This article provides an overview of mobile health applications, discusses fundamental issues for success, and highlights relevant areas for improvement. Moreover, a number of the notable applications in the context of mobile health applications area are provided. This article also includes comments and evaluations regarding the current status and future of mobile health applications. Additionally, in this article, an original mobile health application named HWOW (Healthier Work for Office Workers) designed to support a healthier work for office workers (gold or white-collar workers who work relatively sedentary all day at a computer or desk) is presented. Besides, all the details are given regarding answers to what, how and why questions about HWOW, information about HWOW’s development process, the results of the survey applied to decide on the minimum viable product, HWOW’s differences from similar applications, and HWOW’s features. It is evaluated that this article might be beneficial for relevant mobile health application developers, policymakers, and researchers.
