A Context-Aware Intelligent System to Introduce Mobile-Cloud Services for Diabetes Management

The healthcare sector is one of the most important sectors in all countries where it spends an average of about 9.5% of its domestic product. Diabetes is a chronic disease that demands a long term healthcare; it consumes medical resources, requires regular set of checkups and continual requirements for physicians and medical equipment. In addition, the patient should control blood-glucose levels with a normal range through medication, diet and exercise. In consequence, the majority of patients suffer from their incapability to manage their treatments without difficulty and the boring follow-up process. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that combines mobile and cloud computing with software product line techniques in order to offer real-time and context-aware services that take into consideration the variability of both the context of the patient to get a fresh data and the cloud environment to provide a service that satisfies the user requirements.
