Review of mobile terminal-based tools for diabetes diet management

Abstract

Changing dietary habits is one of the most challenging tasks of diabetes self-management. Mobile terminals are increasingly used as platforms for tools to support diet management and health promotion. We present literature describing mobile terminal-based support tools for management of diabetes focused on diet. We also propose a summary of key success factors for designing such tools and discuss recommendations for future research. © 2011 European Federation for Medical Informatics. All rights reserved.
