The authors aim to address self-management support of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients who are treated in the temporary housings of disaster-stricken areas. We develop a web management system to collect lifestyle information from patients with mild to moderately-severe CHF. Patients can enter information on their lifestyle and medication. They send their information to the web server of the medical institution using a tablet PC. We present the basic health conditions that are essential for patient management of CHF. We then examine the functions required to implement this system. Based on the results of these investigations, we designed an input interface and created a program that the patients can use to manage their prescription medicine, their weight and other items. Our system is expected to increase the ease of information collection, which is an important part of managing patients with CHF. We plan to validate this system in a clinical.
