Healthy eating and regular physical activity plays a substantial role in preventing diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and stroke etc. As mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives, it can alter the way we look after our health. Seeing the increase in adoption of mobile in our daily lives, we have used mobile as a platform for a healthcare, so that people can get factual information about their health and can have command on their health. It will help them to learn about their health and understand their illness. In this paper Mobile based healthcare application ‘Hopeful Hearts’ has been proposed. Application which will suggest diet and physical activity based on six input parameters. The input parameters are BMI (Body Mass Index), BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), working hours and user current body conditions (i.e. Body Temperature, Heart rate and SPO2 via Sensors). Decision-Tree is being used to make all suggestions. The application supports continuous monitoring of user health. The proposed system is scalable for all Android Based Mobile Devices.
