Mobile application use has become increasingly common, particularly android is the most well known working framework being utilized. The portable application is getting developed in all areas like social insurance, individual consideration, Gaming, Business, and so forth, and these applications need the client to give their own information, wherein the client's information are stored on the Mobile gadget, or it is transmitted through the Network as API's. If there are any security, misconfigurations present may lead the hacker to attack the mobile device or the API’s which helps to gain access on the user’s data. Hence, the mobile devices are becoming more prone to security threats. Consequently, the portable applications must ensure to be secure before they are conveyed in the market, and it is the duty of the application proprietor to perform Pentesting on the application to provide security to the client’s information. Pentesting of any android or iOS applications can be performed in two ways, static and dynamic Pentesting. Static Pentesting helps in understating the security threats at the local storage and on the manifest file by reverse engineering the application’s APK or IPA file, whereas dynamic Pentesting helps in finding security threats in the real-time exchange of data through the network. In this paper, the Static Pentesting methodology that can be used for android application Pentesting is described with the use of open-source Pentesting tools and a sample android application. The static Pentesting of any application encourages the engineer to comprehend the security misconfigurations, which ought to be dodged at the development stage of the application itself. This guarantees the security of the client's information at the device level

179 Background: Mobile devices provide individuals with rapid and frequent access to electronic patient portals. How patients use this growing and widespread technology to review test results and communicate with providers is not known. Methods: Retrospective study of patients enrolled in the MyChart electronic health portal associated with the EPIC electronic medical record in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. We recorded type of portal access according to year and patient characteristics. Associations between patient characteristics and type of portal access were tested using Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test, and linear Gaussian regression models. Results: Since the availability of mobile access in 2012, 2,524 patients accessed MyChart from a mobile device at least once, accounting for 291,526 mobile logins. The proportion of patients with mobile MyChart logins increased from 4% in 2012 to 13% in 2017 ( P= 0.004). Among these patients, the proportion of logins from mobile devices increased from 22% to 72% ( P< 0.001). Mobile access occurred more frequently among younger ( P< 0.001), black ( P= 0.002), and Hispanic ( P= 0.004) patients. In 2017, among patients who accessed MyChart from mobile devices at least once, those under age 40 years used the mobile application for over 90% of logins; those over age 60 years used the mobile application for 65% of logins. Black and Hispanic patients who used mobile MyChart access did so for approximately 80% of logins, compared to 70% of logins for non-Hispanic white patients. Before 2012, patients who went on to use mobile access averaged about five more logins per year than did mobile application never-users. While login frequency increased for both groups, the change was far greater for mobile application users. After 2012, total portal login frequency increased approximately 110% among patients who used mobile access, compared to 25% among non-users ( P< 0.001). Conclusions: Mobile access to electronic health portals has increased patient portal use, particularly among traditionally underserved populations. How this widely and immediately available technology impacts patient and practice experiences warrants further study.

Explosive mobile applications (Apps) are proliferating with the popularity of mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets). These Apps are developed to satisfy different function needs of users. Majority of existing App Stores have difficulty in recommending proper Apps for users. Therefore, it is of significance to recommend mobile Apps for users according to personal preference and various constraints of mobile devices (e.g., battery power). In this paper, we propose a mobile App recommendation framework by incorporating different requirements from users. We exploit modern portfolio theory (MPT) to combine the popularity of mobile Apps, personal preference, and mobile device constraints for mobile App recommendation. Based on this framework, we discuss the recommendation approaches by constraints of phone power and limited mobile data plan. Extensive evaluations show that the proposed mobile App recommendation framework can well adapt to power and network data plan constraints. It satisfies the user App preference and mobile device constraints.

Objective. The main goal of this work was to describe the concept of a mobile application that supports the functions of an electronic board for mobile devices with a touch screen. Material and methods. The work uses theoretical methods: a review of the literature on the research problem, analysis of publications, as well as an empirical method of observing the distance work of Tyumen State Medical University teachers. Results. The original article reflects the views of the teacher of the medical university on the problem of distance education during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection and contains a practical proposal for creating a mobile application with which it is possible to facilitate teacher-student interaction during practical sessions conducted using video conferencing systems. The essence of the proposed concept is to synchronize the operation of a personal computer and a mobile device with a touch screen (phone, tablet), as well as a video conferencing system, in which a remote lesson is held, through a mobile application – a virtual board. Such an application turns the touch screen of a mobile device into an analogue of a graphics tablet, on which you can write using any suitable object. In this application the teacher has administrative permission. He can give or restrict access to the virtual clipboard to any student. This will bring the virtual educational process as close as possible to the real one. Conclusion. When implemented thorough of this idea should ensure improve the end result of education. The main disadvantage of this idea is the need for the teacher and students to have both a computer and a mobile device with a touch screen. Also the operation of this application will be difficult in places with low-speed Internet, or when Internet connection is not available.

Mobile application development is relatively new and has seen growth of late. With this rapid expansion, there are growing pains within industry, as the usual time given to the evolution of an industry to learn from past mistakes has been significantly shortened and is even going on within the currently saturated market. Because of this, inexperienced developers are attempting to design applications based on what is of yet a shady set of design principals. This is providing problems during the development process and can be seen to be stifling innovation, as many developers have yet to get a grasp on the shift between traditional software engineering and what it means to implicate these designs on a mobile device. This chapter analyses these difficulties in depth, as well as attempting to draw solutions to these problems based on development in the context of the characteristics of mobile devices.

The need for video surveillance and installation of CCTV cameras in public places is increasing due to the increase in crime and crime investigations. Nowadays, home appliances are controlled using mobile applications due to the rapid increase in the use of mobile devices. There have been so many equipments that make use of the GSM/GPRS facility of the handset. There were so many automated systems that inform the remote user about the intrusion of the intruder or attempt to intrude their house was developed. We are proposing a system for surveillance of home. This surveillance system processes by obtaining stream of video from a CCTV camera fixed at a particular location and informed the user about the intrusion via the android application installed in the user's mobile. This Android application installed in the user’s mobile interprets the message a mobile device receives on possible intrusion from the server. The message is send to the android application via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). The movement of the object is detected accurately. After the detection of motion and viewing of the image the user realize the intrusion and further actions and be made. Key words: Detection of motion, Firebase Cloud
