Implementação e análise de portabilidade de um sistema de informação para dados de pandemias

Abstract

Humanity throughout its history has been affected by several diseases that have affected the way we live. Some of these diseases, whose uncontrolled contagion affects several countries, are categorized as pandemic. The universal tool used to combat this invisible enemy is information, used at all levels to fight the diseases, whether to produce medicines and vaccines for the recovery of infected people, or to stop its spread through public preventive actions. In large-scale crises, such as pandemics, it is very important that the individuals responsible for decision-making have access to fast and quality information, which can be facilitated through online and collaborative systems. In this paper, we present the implementation of a situational awareness platform on epidemics, which seeks to assist in combating future pandemics, providing a straight way to present data on the current situation in epidemiological and socioeconomic terms. A central requirement for this tool is its portability, allowing its implementation in different scenarios and by people with different levels of technical knowledge. The work also presents the portability analysis of the software that we performed through a two-step test with volunteers.
