Abstract
Hepatitis B infection and liver disease are the leading causes of cirrhosis and liver cancer in the world. The use of computer solutions applied to the medicine is increasing every day. Scientific research in areas of health, as well as the development of new technologies involving smartphones and sensors, is making possible self-management of health. In this context, interest in mobile health (mHealth) applications for self-management of diseases is growing. Hence, this research aims to analyze this kind of applications, specifically, those ones focused on hepatitis B. Furthermore, an ontological model for the effective management of knowledge of the hepatitis B domain is proposed in this research.
