| Abstract | Uvod Mobilne aplikacije so lahko zelo uporabna programska oprema, še posebej za podporo pri ustreznem vodenju in obvladovanju kroničnih bolezni, kot je npr. sladkorna bolezen. Cilj raziskave je bil testirati mobilne aplikacije, ki lahko pomagajo diabetikom pri boljšem nadzorovanju njihove bolezni. Metode Testiranje brezplačnih mobilnih aplikacij v angleškem jeziku je potekalo v treh mobilnih trgovinah: Google Play (Android), App store (iOS) in Windows Phone store. Testiranje in analiza sta bili izvedeni v februarju in marcu 2015. Rezultati Šestnajst od skupno 67 testiranih mobilnih aplikacij je bilo ocenjenih kot uporabnih za obvladovanje sladkorne bolezni. Diskusija in zaključek Glede na rezultate lahko rečemo, da obstaja mnogo mobilnih aplikacij, ki na različne načine prispevajo k izboljšanju življenjskih navad diabetikov in jim nudijo kontinuiran nadzor nad določenimi parametri. Vendar pa jih je večina testiranih zelo zahtevna ali pa so nasprotno, zelo površne in ne zajemajo osnovnih funkcij. Kljub temu, smo izbrali 16 mobilnih aplikacij, ki so po svoji funkcionalnosti vsestransko uporabne.Introduction Mobile applications can be very useful software especially fort the support in management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes. The aim of this research was to test the applications for smartphones that can help diabetic patients in better management of their disease. Methods Testing of free applications in English language for smart phones in three mobile application stores: Google Play (Android), App store (iOS) and Window Phone Store, was performed from February, 2015 to March, 2015. The testing and analysis of mobile applications was conducted. Results Sixteen out of 67 tested mobile applications were evaluated as useful for self-management of diabetes. Discussion and Conclusion The results show that several applications for controlling diabetes are available in all three stated stores, however in most cases they are either very demanding for use or too superficial. Nevertheless we found 16 multifunctional applications that have additional functions and are therefore versatile useful. | |
