SOLUTION

With the advancement of technology specifically in the health care sector, new areas of patient care continue to develop. In this dimension, there are numerous mHealth applications that have been developed to assist patients dealing with various health conditions and health behaviors and drive them towards achieving better health results. Consequently, this has increased the number of patients improving their health outcomes without much help from health care providers. In addition, it has helped patients to minimize hospital visits, as they are able to send details about their progress to their health care providers using these mHealth applications.

The intention of this paper is to explore heart diseases and strokes in patients and identify the most suitable mHealth application that will prove effective to the patent diagnosed with the health condition. With this in mind, this paper will provide a patient scenario, education requirements for the patient, and the identification of the proposed mHealth application.
