Smartwatches, particularly, offer continuous monitoring capabilities through step counting, heart rate tracking, and activity monitoring. However, despite being recognized as an emerging technology, the adoption of smartwatches in patient monitoring systems is still at an early stage, with limited studies delving beyond their feasibility. Developing healthcare applications for smartwatches faces challenges such as short battery life, wearable comfort, patient compliance, termination of non-native applications, user interaction difficulties, small touch screens, personalized sensor configuration, and connectivity with other devices. This paper presents a case study on designing an Android smartwatch application for remote monitoring of geriatric patients. It highlights obstacles encountered during app development and offers insights into design decisions and implementation details. The aim is to assist programmers in developing more efficient healthcare applications for wearable systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23156652","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,26]],"date-time":"2023-07-26T05:09:01Z","timestamp":1690348141000},"page":"6652","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Developing a Smartwatch-Based Healthcare Application: Notes to Consider"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9276-6932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramin","family":"Ramezani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Smart Health, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5628-4864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Minh","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Smart Health, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2085-0638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arjun","family":"Earthperson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Probabilistic Risk Assessment Group, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27613, USA"}]},{"given":"Arash","family":"Naeim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Smart Health, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1038\/s41746-022-00593-x","article-title":"Wearable fitness tracker use in federally qualified health center patients: Strategies to improve the health of all of us using digital health devices","volume":"5","author":"Holko","year":"2022","journal-title":"NPJ Digit.
