Abstract: Background: Currently the device which everyone takes everywhere with him is a smartphone. Data collection via mobile applications can conveniently help patients gather their health information. In addition, the users can view the information from the database in graph or chart for easy interpretation. Objective: The aim of this study is to help diabetic patients record their data easily, to see the trends of each data set and to improve theircompliance, by developing a mobile application for self-gathering of their glucose data. Methods: A total of fifteen subjects, five physicians and ten diabetic patients, tested this application and used this application for both collecting data and other functions. After a week of using this application, the users completed a satisfaction questionnaire so that their suggestions could be used to improve this application performance. Results: After a week of testing this application, the overall efficiency of this application was good (more than 3.41/5.00). The patients found recording their data on this application was easy. In addition, showing the trend of each patient data had benefit for both patients and physicians. However, some functions were too complicated to use without assistance from staff. Conclusions: This mobile application was useful for patients and physicians to gather data and see the trends of each data. Future enhancement could include adding some beneficial features such as notification, adding others relevant data, or connection to the health care system. Importantly, this application should be able to be run on every operating system and be displayed in other languages. Therefore, using technology is helpful for long-term data gathering and analysis.
