I. INTRODUCTION
The Expert System (ES), namely Computer Assisted diagnosis
for red eye (CARDE) is proposed by [1], which assists the
patients in the treatment of Red eye disease. It works like an
ophthalmologist and it is not limited to only red eye diseases,
but can be extended to diagnose other diseases.
A Web based expert system is proposed by [2]to diagnose red
eye disease and to provide prescription with it. This system
typically diagnoses disease, of the eye in which red eye is a
common symptom. It has an attractive and easy to use
graphical user interface.
[3] Proposed an ES to diagnose skin diseases. This system can
diagnose almost 13 types of skin disease. This web based
expert system can be enhanced to diagnose all types of skin
diseases.
An automated alarm ringing system is developed and its
center of interest is the interaction between doctor and
patients. The description of medicines, date and time can be
set by patients through an alarm. They received the
notification through an email or messages [4].

There is a persistent disease known as diabetes mellitus,
increasing globally that is caused due to the relative deficiency
of insulin. Therefore, android based diabetes management
health care application is developed, which helps in diagnosis
and treatment of diabetes as well hypertension [5].
Chronic health patients suffer from multiple ailments,
however, different patients have different such ailments. The
objective of this project was to design and prototype a health
monitoring system that has a capability to monitors multiple
diseases [6].
An application, namely “smart carb”, is developed based on
an Android OS for the management of Type2 diabetes. If the
patients do not manage their diabetic level then it will lead to
many complications; and if it is not treated properly, that it
may even lead to death. In order to manage diabetes to avoid
these complication, this application was developed [7].
Due to the refinement of wireless mobile technologies in the
erstwhile years, the need for mobile data services has been
aggravated dramatically. The location of the user can also be
obtained to provide better facilities to the users by the service
provider. However, it also has some issues like needing an
approval of user privacy, standardization, and accessibility of
smart services [8].
There are many systems on the health-related content analysis
in the context of opinion mining and sentiment analysis [9, 10,
11,12], however, most of such studies are web-based and
address the user generated contents. In addition to
aforementioned studies, there are recent works [13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20] performed for developing healthcare
applications, which assist the users in taking care of their
health. In this work, we present the development of an
android-based health care application using the MIT App
inventor software [21]. Nowadays, health related issues are
getting common due to hectic daily routine and unbalanced
diet. Therefore, it is an important task and a need to develop
an android application that could assist the users to keep
themselves aware of their daily activities including diet,
exercise, and glucose level, B.P reading etc.
We have integrated different modules into one android
application that were located on different websites such as
calorie level, Target heart rate, blood volume, diabetes [22].

We also provide the data storage facility using tiny DB, which
assists the user to retrieve the previous records easily, such
facility is not provided in the previous work [23]. In the web
based calorie application, there is no facility for the basic
calorie needs so we included the Caloric chart in the calorie
level module which guides the users about their caloric need,
[24]. In the target heart rate module, we have given the
information in the form of text so that user can easily
understand the application as this feature is not present in the
foregoing heart rate application, [25]. In the previous diabetes Figure 2. Code block for input and output of target heart rate
application, a diet chart facility is not provided so we address Calorie Level: The Spinner component provides the choice of
this issue in our application so that the user can maintain their male and female to the user. There are three variables age,
diet [26]. height, weight that are initialized. Button 7 is used to call the
procedure. The value of age, height and weight are entered in

concludes the work with a discussion on a future extension.
I. MATERIAL AND METHOD
The materials used to develop the software are as follows: (1)
Window 8.1 Haier laptop, (2) MIT App Inventor 2 Software,
(3) Samsung Tablet and (4) Infinix X551Android Cell Phone.
The experimental setup section presents detail about the
implementation and evaluation of the proposed system. As
described earlier, we developed the software using MIT App
inventor and tested the apps in Bluestack emulator. To
Figure 3. Code block for input and output of Calorie level
evaluate the effectiveness of proposed system, a web-based
survey is conducted. The proposed system is given below. Blood Volume:In Fig. 4 the partial code blocks for blood
volume module is presented, where a button is used to call a
procedure to initialize three variables: cm, height and weight.
The procedure textbox invites users to enter height and weight
,spinners for selection of gender, and labels to display that
how much blood is in the human body.

Figure 1. The proposed system

Target Heart rate: In the following code blocks Fig. 2, we
used two text boxes to enter age, and resting heart rate, where
age and resting heart rate are the variables. Also, a procedure
is used to display the output: upper and lower limit of target
heart rate; and a button is used to call a procedure. The clock
component is used to display the current date and time.
Figure 4. Code block for input and output of Blood volume
Diabetes: The diabetes module code blocks has three list
pickers to display a list of items for assisting the user to make
a selection from a list. A button is an event handler in which
variables, list picker, and labels are used to exhibit the output
in terms of blood glucose level, which is either normal, pre
diabetes or diabetes. Similarly, for Random blood glucose
level, three list picker are provided and a button event handler,
which executes a sequence of commands; and also for HbA1c
test type, a button contains spinner component that gives a list
of choices to the user for making a selection. The partial code
of blocks is shown in Fig. 5.

1) Target Heart Rate

The target heart rate module allows the user to get information
about the different readings related to heart-beat levels, which
assists in keeping the heartbeat level at desired level. Firstly,
the user has to give certain inputs like resting heart rate, age
and activity level. These inputs are then calculated to get the
desired output, such as it computes the extreme pulse rate and
the higher and lower pulse rate limits. The pseudo code of this
module is given below.

End

2) Calorie Level
The second module determines the caloric demands of the
user based on his/her age, weight, height and activity level,
and gives recommendations accordingly. Age, weight, height
and activity level are the inputs, required from the user. These
inputs are used in the calculation of final result, reflecting how
much calorie is in the human body. The pseudo code of calorie

Table XI calculations are obtained from the Excel data
analysis by using the mean values of all the questions.
B. Questionnaire
Fig. 25shows the questionnaire of an individual respondent in
order to obtain the feedback and also to analyze the result. The
respondent chooses one option from multiple choice.

16.67% respondents strongly agreed that application

is helpful to control blood glucose level. There are
56.67% respondents who consider that application is
helpful to control blood glucose level, 23.33%
respondents found application satisfactory to control
blood glucose level, 3.33% respondents disagree with
the statement.

From the above questions we conclude that the users find that
the application is beneficial to maintain their health

III. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

Figure 25. Questionnaire of individual person
Some of the major findings during analysis are listed below
• A question was asked from the respondent to gather
information about the performance of application that
whether application helps them to keep track of their
diet. So,
33.3% respondents were strongly agreed that the
application is helpful to maintain their diet, while
53.3% respondent were agreed with the statement,
33.3% respondents were satisfied and there are no
respondents that disagree with the statement.
• The objective of the Second question was to get
respondents views about the integration of module.
The separated modules are combined or coordinated
into main application so respondents look at the
integration that it is well organized or not.
62.23% respondents were strongly agreed with the
statement,20.00% respondent were
agreed with the statement that module were well
integrated while at the same time 16.67%
respondents were satisfied with the statement
moreover no respondent were found who disagree
with the statement.
The main purpose and focus of developing the healthcare
application is to help people to maintain their health. This
healthcare application includes the four modules, namely (1)
Target heart rate, (2) calorie level, (3) blood volume, and (4)
diabetes app.
The first module describes the pulse rate (in beats per minute)
that allows the user to exercise safely while getting the
maximum benefits from your workout. It includes THR zones
which range from low to vigorous i. e (50 to 85) % of
MaxHR.
The second module is the calorie level, all essential process of
our body, uses this measurement unit of energy. In order to
encounter the energy needs of our body the speed at which the
calorie is used alters continually. Throughout different phases
of life, it changes from individual to individual. It is used to
determine the caloric needs based on the age, weight, and
height and activity level.
The third module is the blood volume, which reflects the
amount of the blood in human body. This app assists in
answering about how much blood is in the human body, more
precisely in your own body depending on the height and
weight.
The fourth module is the diabetes app tells about that when the
body does not properly use or store glucose. Its records, the

blood sugar readings, and assists users to track their diet
properly.
Future Work: In the future, we will integrate more apps to our
main application to make it a more sophisticated auto-help
tool and to provide a wide range of facilities to the end user.
These apps will include: (1) Measuring blood pressure and
Measuring Weight of the body, (2)Provide reminders to users
about their medications which help them to take medicine on
time. Therefore, through these reminders, the user can take
care of their health, and (3) Graphs of the output obtained will
help the user to keep track of the changes in diabetes-related
readings and to manage their diet and health in a more
effective way.
