Abstract

The prevalence of non-communicable diseases increases significantly from year to year. The data show that non-communicable diseases are the top three causes of death in the world, respectively, are cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease. The financial burden of non-communicable diseases is increasing due to disabilities and prolonged treatment. It needs a comprehensive, integrated, and massive effort to control these diseases. The use of information technology for surveillance, health promotion, and service delivery in the industrial era 4.0 has the potential to be developed due to the increasing use of smartphones supported by the expansion of the internet network to rural areas. The development of an "integrated mobile health system" is highly relevant to three important elements in controlling non-communicable diseases in Indonesia, including structuring surveillance activities, strengthening health promotion, and strengthening health services. Integration of health services, development of health professional competencies, and management of health services in one system using a mobile application will increase the coverage of screening for persons at risk, effective in service-delivery, efficient in the aspect of the financing, easy to obtain information about patients, and broad in scope of health promotion.
