| Summary: | This study attempted to develop a mobile-based health management application
targeting middle-aged men experiencing andropause, with the aim of allowing them
to prevent and continuously manage health issues that may arise during the
experience of andropause. The mobile web-based andropause health management
program focused on providing a wide range of information and enhancing
self-management by integrating various sources of information. Additionally, the
app was developed based on the Android OS (used in domestic smartphones),
enabling comprehensive information access anytime and anywhere in daily life, and
offering various self-measurement features to facilitate effective
self-management for individuals experiencing andropause. Currently, existing
andropause management apps are designed for women, making this study’s program
unique as it is developed for middle-aged men. Furthermore, by connecting various
psychological counseling programs, this application can be utilized as a resource
for mental health management, allowing for shortened intervention times and
flexible, accessible interventions when necessary. While this andropause app for
men was developed through user satisfaction surveys, it is necessary to conduct a
larger study to test the effectiveness of the andropause health management
program for middle-aged men. |
