| Summary: | In spite of the increasing understanding of the importance of social support attached to health and medical services in suburban areas, a support model needs to be established that can benefit those areas with different living patterns. To that end, this research employs both quantitative and qualitative analyses to investigate the medication, social support, and care forms and sources in the suburban hills of an area in a central Taiwan village. Different types of data sources were collected during the analysis phase to develop a support model. A new model integrated with the boundaries between the demander and the provider was developed. An experimental mobile app was also developed, and this app was based on the concept of this new support model. It is hoped that the medicine service, care support, and key information on society health activities could be provided by means of using the easiest and simplest GUI through which the local healthcare economic system could be further established.
