Abstract:
Hypertension is a silent killer, which gives no
warning signs to alert a patient and can only be detected
through regular blood pressure checkups. Uncontrolled
and unmonitored hypertension contributed to stroke,
chronic kidney disease, eye problem, and heart failure. It
is an ongoing challenge to health care systems worldwide.
Early detection of hypertension and creating awareness
will greatly reduce the effect of hypertension and its
related diseases. Also, having a mobile-based system will
help patients to know their status, relate with Doctor and
enjoy the quick response from the Doctor on
hypertension diagnostic effect on their health. The mobile
application will help in monitoring patients anytime,
anywhere and provide services for each patient based on
their personal health condition. The mobile application
was designed using unified modeling language and
implemented using the Extensible Mark-Up Language
and Java programming language for the mobile layout
and content, while JavaScript Object Notation was used
to implement the data storage and retrieval mechanism of
the system
