Proposta de uma ferramenta para a geração automática de aplicativos a partir de protocolos clínicos

Abstract

Software development requires technical knowledge to design, structure and implemente systems. This whole process involves costs and demand support of the technologies. Nowadays, with the popularization of smartphones, health professionals can count on clinical assistance applications. However, due technical characteristics, it prevents such professionals from developing their own applications, especially when there is bigger logical complexity. The medical documents used as reference in the specific care of diseases are called clinical protocols. These documents have a generally standardized logical structure and can be expressed in flowcharts. Based on that, this work proposes through a web tool, a facilitating way to generate mobile applications. The tool developed in this work has the purpose of automatic generation of mobile applications for the daily life of health professionals through the description in flowcharts. In this way, people without knowledge in application development can take the initiative to create applications that are useful in everyday life. In order to do this, it was first verified in the literature works related to automatic application generation and the health area. Afterwards, the clinical protocols were studied and then the architecture and logic of an automatic mobile application generation tool Android was developed from the graphical description of protocols clinical. As results and validation of the work, applications published in digital stores were reproduced. Through the reproductions, it can be verified that the proposal was able to describe the content of the applications in flowcharts, even though it was not originally used clinical protocols as reference a source.
