Sistema web e mobile para auxílio no acompanhamento de pessoas em abrigos públicos

Abstract

People living in public shelters, commonly known as nursing homes, when referring to the elderly, need health-related care. It is important that they are properly medicated. It is common to have elderly people who are no longer able to take care of the dosage of their medications on their own, they can forget the adequate amount, the schedule or even if the medication has already been administered. In these places there are caregivers who perform these functions. However, as, in general, there are even dozens of elderly residents and with drug interactions diversified in type, periodicity and quantity, a system can help people who perform the function of administering medicines. Thus, based on an asylum in the city of Pato Branco, but considering that the proposed solution can be applied to any location that is characterized as serving people in need and health care, a system for the management of drug interaction was modeled of shelter residents. The system was developed for a web platform and has a responsive interface for use on mobile devices to improve the usability experience of the caregiver, nurse or doctor in registering that a certain medication was administered to the referred patient. The system also allows the registration of general and drug allergies in order to generate alerts when it is registered that a certain resident will start to use a medication that has as active ingredient the product to which the resident is allergic. The medication registration that each resident is using allows determining the forecast quantity of medication so that there is no shortage or waste. A historical record of blood pressure, temperature, blood glucose and weight will also be provided by the system.
