Abstract

The number of patients with diabetes has been rising steadily. Statistics show a worldwide increase from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 [1]. Most diabetics in the world suffer from type 2 diabetes. Successful treatment requires greater motivation from patients due to its symptoms. Currently, mHealth solutions are being expanded to support diagnostic and treatment processes. Unfortunately, in many healthcare facilities wider implementation of mHealth and its elements has not yet been successful. The aim of this paper therefore is to specify mHealth implementation into diabetes type 2 diagnostic and treatment processes, including the effects of patient motivation. The research was designed as a qualitative research, namely, a case study. The results indicate that there are benefits for both healthcare facilities and patients
