Abstract

Aim To analyze the sub-segment of mHealth devoted to assessing of the risk of recurrent stone formation and metaphylaxis of stone formation. To design a smartphone application (app.) in Russian language for urolithiasis patients. Materials and Methods Three working groups of urologists from three St. Petersburg clinics searched for downloadable medical applications relevant to the above requirements. After searching and analyzing existing medical applications, the most acceptable design and structure of our own application were identified. Results The developed «Urolithiasis» application is available for free download in Russian language versions in App Store (Apple, Inc.) and Google Play (Android market, Google, Inc.). It features the following sections: 1) «Take the test» (personalized calculation of the risk of kidney stone recurrence and providing relevant recommendations using ROKS nomogram), 2) «Water» (with reminders to drink water and automatic logging of the water intake), 3) «Food» (Nutrition facts on the content of calcium, oxalate, purine, protein, citrate and calories in common foods), 4) «My doctor» (in the future this option will allow for on-line communication with a patient’s physician), 5) «Feedback» (if the patient does not find the desired product or has a question - this section is for him/her). Conclusions: The smartphone application «Urolithiasis» in Russian may be recommended to patients with urolithiasis for improving the effectiveness of metaphylaxis.
