| Summary: | Back pain is one of the most neglected pains among adults and stretching is one of the best ways to prevent back pain in the long run for back pain patients. In this project, the author explores the prospective on how to improve the state of back pain patients through mobile technology. The main objective of this project is to explore the use of mobile for creating back care awareness among back pain patients. In addition, the objective is also to design and develop a mobile application on the Android operating system to accommodate back pain patients to have a companion which reminds and give the right guidance to improve their health state on back pain. Using Android Studio software, the author would develop a mobile application for Android named BackCare. BackCare is a mobile application that motivates the users to perform stretching through exercises provided. The Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology is used for the development of this project. Surveys and interviews are the sources of data collection to gauge acceptance and opinions to analyze in terms of technology as well as its effectiveness. The results and recommendations were shared by the end of the project as a key milestone for future renditions of the project. |
