Abstract

Monitoring the heart rate and keeping track of the pulse are important actions in the prevention and the treatment of many diseases, particularly heart diseases. A mobile personal health record (mPHR) offers users with cardiovascular problems the possibility to improve the management of their heart rate along with other health data. A large number of apps have been developed to provide users with the opportunity to choose mPHRs within a mobile platform proposing different functionalities. This paper identifies the current list of free mPHRs available in Android platform for smartphone users with cardiovascular problems. This paper also assesses the specifications of the mPHRs selected. The result of this study may assist mPHR seekers to monitor heart rate in their tasks.
