ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
People with disabilities face challenges in daily life during the COVID-19 pandemic, including limited access to care, exposure to lifestyle-related diseases, and difficulties in regular exercise. Therefore, it is important to establish health safety nets using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in communities.OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to develop an m-Health-based personalized lifestyle intervention algorithm targeting high-risk groups of lifestyle-related diseases (including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity) among people with hemiplegic disabilities, and to verify its feasibility.METHODS:
Six people at a high risk of lifestyle-related diseases participated in an 8-week lifestyle intervention using a wearable device and the S-Health program. The self-health management areas included walking, moderate-intensity exercise, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, diet, calorie intake, heart rate, sobriety, no smoking. Health, physical, psychological, and social changes were measured before and after the study.RESULTS:
The intervention had a positive impact on the participants' health, with statistically significant differences found in fasting blood glucose, highest systolic blood pressure, grip strength, and motor function assessment. Quality of life, health-related quality of life, and self-efficacy improved post-intervention.CONCLUSION:
Our findings can be used as preliminary evidence for establishing m-Health-based health safety net systems for people with disabilities who live in communities.Palabras clave
