Abstract

The metabolic syndrome and its clinical offsprings such as diabetes mellitus 2 affect hundreds of millions and generate tremendous health care workload. Lifestyle changes and consequent treatment have some potential to avoid or delay the disease progress, but are hard to maintain for a lifetime.

We analyze more than a dozen of the numerous Consumer Health Informatics services. Perspectives taken are stage of the disease, character of the service, type of patient provided data, effectiveness, and legal character between well-being and health care.

Services for early stages are more successful. Perseverance fades over time, calling for means to uphold attractiveness and novelty. Patients avoid additional effort, calling for perfectly integrated services (152).
