Description: This project will develop a mobile application to support the self-care and learning of women with gestational diabetes. Potential features of the app, as identified in the fieldwork, include: meal reminders, glucose measurement reminders, meal plan display, meal/recipe recommendations (algorithm under development in NUTRIA), and nutrition learning modules. The project will be conducted in collaboration with Beatriz Félix and Francisco Nunes from Fraunhofer AICOS. This thesis occurs in the context of a larger project, NUTRIA, which goal is to develop a system to support women with gestational diabetes, which includes a mobile app for patients, a web app for nutritionists, and a meal recommendation system engine. This student would collaborate with the project and build on a design prototype developed by a previous thesis. Innovation: There are some mobile apps for women with gestational diabetes, but they are usually poor in terms of functionality, being restricted to a few screens with text on symptoms or self-care (Kalhori et al. 2020). It is uncommon for these mobile apps to be integrated with an app for healthcare professionals. Possible Challenges: Integration of the mobile app with the web app for dietitians; Workplan: Review on self-care and treatment of gestational diabetes; Review smartphone apps and technologies in the literature to support the self-care of gestational diabetes; Develop the mobile app using React Native; Conduct usability tests with end-users Report results and write thesis; Profile: Background in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or similar; Experience in mobile development; Interest in understanding the issues of women with gestational diabetes; Good social skills for interacting with participants; Ability to speak Portuguese (is a plus); References: Kalhori et al.
