Abstract EN
Background.
Healthcare is a challenging, yet so demanding sector that developing countries are paying more attention to recently.
Statistics show that rural areas are expected to develop a high rate of heart diseases, which is a leading cause of sudden mortality, in the future.
Thus, providing solutions that can assist rural people in detecting the cardiac risks early will be vital for uncovering and even preventing the long-term complications of cardiac diseases.
Methodology.
Mobile technology can be effectively utilized to limit the cardiac diseases’ prevalence in rural Middle East.
This paper proposes a smart mobile solution for early risk detection of hard coronary heart diseases that uses the Framingham scoring model.
Results.
Smart HeartCare+ mobile app estimates accurately coronary heart diseases’ risk over 10 years based on clinical and nonclinical data and classifies the patient risk to low, moderate, or high.
HeartCare+ also directs the patients to further treatment recommendations.
Conclusion.
This work attempts to investigate the effectiveness of the mobile technology in the early risk detection of coronary heart diseases.
HeartCare+ app intensifies the communication channel between the lab workers and patients residing in rural areas and cardiologists and specialist residing in urban places.
