These basically revolve round the smart phone, mainly text parameters; with Internet technology it’s also mentioned. The paper is expected to provide background resource for an efficient and effective information system capable of predicting and/or minimizing the risks resulting from this dangerous illness. The ultimate goal is to develop products which will assist in early detection and for use by health-information related agencies
