Abstract
Expected age of population is increasing as the quality of medical technology and services is improving. As a result, women nowadays are expected to spend 1/3 of their lives after menopause. Precise knowledge of each of their menopausal stage and how to deal with corresponding symptoms would greatly increase the quality of their lives. There is a large amount of studies conducted on mHealth intervention, but the amount of study conducted for this particular target group is relatively small. In order to develop a mobile intervention for health management of menopausal women, this research set interviews with a focus group including middle aged women and stakeholders. As a result, we suggest a guideline for designing a health management system of menopausal women based on previous study and suggest a possible system that support women’s wellness in menopausal period, with providing health information based on user’s menopausal stage using mobile devices.
