AB  - M-Health applications targeting diabetics have not only been inapplicable and inappropriate to
people’s cultures, context and experiences. Many mobile application designs show general design that fits all
types of diabetes and all types of users regardless of their cultures and countries. Therefore, the aim of this
research study is to establish the requirements for type-2 diabetes in Malaysia using the user-centered
approach. The result of the evaluation shows that the proposed application has been proven in sum to be
effective in achieving its objectives, efficiency and satisfactory with regards to the user requirements.
In addition, the proposed application will assist developers and other researchers to design and implement an
effective, highly usable and ease to use M-Health application for consumer health technology for Asian type-2
diabetes patients.
