Abstract

People haven’t enough activity and bad eating habits in a busy life. And, people aren’t understanding nutrition health knowledge for foods and drink. People suffering from obesity and chronic disease risk are relatively high. People how to learn nutrition health knowledge are very important for reducing those risks. But, the applying of nutrition health education general is speech communication by nurse at the hospital. That learning situated is short time. People cannot enough understanding information. So, this paper proposed the use of mobile application to perform nutrition health education. When people or patients need health knowledge, they can use application system on the mobile device to get relation information anytime anywhere. Because the contents of nutrition health education are very large and complex, it’s impossible what people or patients want understanding at a short time. Therefore, this application can to apply people focusing on self-requirement to get relation information.
