糖尿病和高血压已经变得非常普遍，也许是因为越来越忙碌的生活方式，不健康的饮食习惯，以及高度竞争的工作场所。移动的通信技术的快速发展为开发用于远程监测此类慢性疾病的软件和硬件应用提供了无数机会。这项研究描述了一种远程健康监测服务，它提供了一个端到端的解决方案，即：（1）它通过移动的电话从病人那里收集血压读数;（2）它通过Web界面将这些数据提供给医生;（3）它使医生能够通过远程向病人提供反馈来管理慢性病。本文还旨在了解这样一个远程健康监测服务的医生和医院的要求和期望。
Diabetes and hypertension have become very common perhaps because of increasingly busy lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and a highly competitive workplace. The rapid advancement of mobile communication technologies offers innumerable opportunities for the development of software and hardware applications for remote monitoring of such chronic diseases. This study describes a remote health-monitoring service that provides an end-to-end solution, that is, (1) it collects blood pressure readings from the patient through a mobile phone; (2) it provides these data to doctors through a Web interface; and (3) it enables doctors to manage the chronic condition by providing feedback to the patients remotely. This article also aims at understanding the requirements and expectations of doctors and hospitals from such a remote health-monitoring service.
