ABSTRACT
Data collected through mobile wellness apps is not currently effectively captured for clinical data use. It may be helpful to share data from wellness apps collected by the patients with clinicians. This study focuses on women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It is suggested that the team of clinicians taking care of these women could benefit if wellness data such as food diaries, exercise and glucose readings maintained in various mobile apps and blood glucose meters, are integrated using a software system into a format semantically interoperable with other health information systems (HIS). Potential clinical standards are explored in this work to be able to propose a possible solution for this interoperability.
