Preventive care is a health services like screenings, check-up and counselling that are utilized to prevent diseases and other health problem. Preventive care is to detect illness at an early stage, by discovering medical problems early; peoples can save money to cure disease because medical cost is very high. Preventive Care Tool for Hypertension and Diabetes is developed for Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) students and staff. The system is to educate students and staffs practice wellness paradigm. The system scope is focusing on two type of disease that is major health concern in Malaysia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2011 has shown that the predominance of hypertension in Malaysia has increased from 32.2% in 2006 to 32.7% in 2011. NHMS also reported that the pervasiveness of diabetes in Malaysia has increased by 31.08% in the space of only 5 years, from 11.6% in 2006 to 15.2% in 2011. The system is done automatically using medical model that is to analyse patient’s records on hypertension and diabetes then generate result from the analysis. The system uses the capabilities of a mobile phone as a communication tool to monitor the patient’s health status. The system is developed to analyse, develop preventive model, integrate and test the tool with e-Clinical Support System (e-CSS). The methodology uses for this project is agile methodology. This methodology is more adaptable than traditional modelling methods, making it a better fit in a quick changing environment. The techniques break product development work into small items. This minimizes the overall risk and allows the project to adapt to changes quickly.
