In recent years cardiac problems and using mobile devices for aiding people with these problems have received significant attention from the scientific communities to develop solutions to improve the quality of life. The proliferation of mobile computing technologies has revolutionized the medical practices in both patient and clinical staff sides. In particular, the development of mobile health applications continues to increase; mainly, the cardiology field is the most addressed. This paper focuses on the review of the mobile applications available in the Google Play Store that are dedicated to cardiac patients. The number of cardiac patients is increasing, but there are no mobile applications that aid cardiac patients by providing monitoring of different parameters, including the calorie intake and the calories burned. However, the mobile applications that can be adapted to this type of people were analyzed. We found six notable mobile applications. Their features can be grouped in diet, anthropometric parameters, and physical activity.

Abstract

In recent years cardiac problems and using mobile devices for aiding people with these problems have received significant attention from the scientific communities to develop solutions to improve the quality of life. The proliferation of mobile computing technologies has revolutionized the medical practices in both patient and clinical staff sides. In particular, the development of mobile health applications continues to increase; mainly, the cardiology field is the most addressed. This paper focuses on the review of the mobile applications available in the Google Play Store that are dedicated to cardiac patients. The number of cardiac patients is increasing, but there are no mobile applications that aid cardiac patients by providing monitoring of different parameters, including the calorie intake and the calories burned. However, the mobile applications that can be adapted to this type of people were analyzed. We found six notable mobile applications. Their features can be grouped in diet, anthropometric parameters, and physical activity.
