All these intensify threats to and inequalities in citizens\u2019 health. The implementation of Blue-Green Solutions in urban and rural areas have been broadly used to tackle the above challenges. The Mobile health (mHealth) technologies contribution in people\u2019s well-being has found to be significant. In addition, several mHealth applications have been used to support patients with mental health or cardiovascular diseases with very promising results. The patients\u2019 remote monitoring can be a valuable asset in chronic diseases management for patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension or arrhythmia, depression, asthma, allergies and others. The scope of this paper is to present the specifications, the design and the development of a mobile application which collects health-related and location data of users visiting areas with Blue-Green Solutions. The mobile application has been developed to record the citizens\u2019 and patients\u2019 physical activity and vital signs using wearable devices. The proposed application can also monitor patients physical, physiological, and emotional status as well as motivate them to engage in social and self-caring activities. Additional features include the analysis of the patients\u2019 behavior to improve self-management. The \u201cHEART by BioAsssist\u201d application could be used as a health and other data collection tool as well as an \u201cintelligent assistant\u201d to monitor and promote patient\u2019s physical activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti220791","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]],"date-time":"2022-06-30T07:39:36Z","timestamp":1656574776000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Using mHealth Technologies to Promote Public Health and Well-Being in Urban Areas with Blue-Green Solutions"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"given":"Parisis","family":"Gallos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"BioAssist S.A., Athens, Greece"},{"name":"Computational Biomedicine Research Lab, Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Menychtas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BioAssist S.A., Athens, Greece"},{"name":"Computational Biomedicine Research Lab, Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Panagopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BioAssist S.A., Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Kaselimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anastasios","family":"Temenos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Rallis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anastasios","family":"Doulamis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Doulamis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manthos","family":"Bimpas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Aggeli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eftychios","family":"Protopapadakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Sardis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilias","family":"Maglogiannis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computational Biomedicine Research Lab, Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Advances in Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI220791","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]],"date-time":"2022-06-30T07:39:37Z","timestamp":1656574777000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI220791"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]]},"ISBN":["9781643682907","9781643682914"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti220791","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]]}}}
