Abstract
A rapid exchange of mobile technologies has offered many features and functions that are useful to build application for various environments. This creates new opportunities for integration of mobile and e-health application into mobile health application (m-health). Due to this opportunity, many applications are developed to cater some issues like health awareness and patient monitoring. With the use of m-health, users can keep track and monitor their health progress from time to time no matter where they are. Therefore, this paper aims to expose the use of m-health application in people living life ideally by developing a mobile calorie burned estimation application. The proposed application can keep track and monitor user weight loss by using their smartphone without using traditional method like paper and pen. The proposed application used several formulas and techniques in developing this mobile application such as three-axis accelerometer for pedometer step, BMI, BMR, and body fat percentage formula. However, this paper does not aim to cover the techniques used in the proposed application but this paper only focuses on m-health application that can assist people toward healthy living lifestyle.
