Summary
This study identified essential functional and nonfunctional requirements for Virtual Clinic Mobile Applications (VCMA). These findings guide the development of effective mHealth solutions for remote patient monitoring and virtual care.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Mobile Health (mHealth)
Background:
- Virtual Clinic Mobile Applications (VCMA) support remote patient management and reduce outpatient service strain.
- Understanding literature requirements is crucial for developing and improving current mHealth applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically identify functional and nonfunctional requirements for Virtual Clinic Mobile Applications (VCMA).
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases (PubMed, Scopus, etc.) up to April 2022.
- 76 articles meeting inclusion criteria were analyzed using conventional content analysis to extract requirements.
- Requirements were categorized into functional and nonfunctional themes and subthemes.
Main Results:
- Identified two main themes: functional requirements (demographic data, health records, UI features) and nonfunctional requirements (usability, accessibility, compatibility, efficiency, security).
- Extracted 3 subthemes for functional requirements and 5 subthemes for nonfunctional requirements.
Conclusions:
- mHealth solutions are vital for virtual care, necessitating app development based on identified requirements.
- Further controlled trials and transparent reporting of mHealth interventions are recommended for effective interpretation and application.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
