Abstract(s)
Com a generalização das tecnologias de informação e comunicação na área da saúde, a
monitorização remota de pacientes, a partir de dispositivos móveis, é uma realidade que contribui para
uma melhor qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Mas, não são só os pacientes que ganham com a
introdução destas tecnologias, também os profissionais de saúde e os hospitais retiram as suas
vantagens. Os profissionais de saúde são munidos de uma ferramenta móvel de monitorização
permanente de sinais vitais, aumentando desta forma a ligação médico-paciente. Relativamente aos
hospitais, estes vêem os custos de manutenção reduzirem, em virtude da possibilidade dos pacientes
puderem ser monitorizados a partir dos seus lares.
Neste projecto pretende-se identificar mecanismos que possibilitem responder de forma eficaz
à necessidade de partilha de informação, nomeadamente protocolos de comunicação, segurança e
sistemas de integração. Foi projectado um protótipo, constituído por um middleware e uma aplicação
cliente móvel, onde o middleware tem como missão garantir a interoperabilidade entre um servidor
HL7 e a aplicação cliente, utilizada pelo profissional de saúde. A normalização da informação médica
trocada entre o servidor HL7 e o middleware obedece à norma internacional HL7.
With the spread of information and communication technologies in health care the remote monitoring of patients from mobile devices is a fact that contributes to improve patient’s quality of life. But not only are the patients who win with the introduction of these technologies, also health professionals and hospitals derive their benefits. Health professionals are equipped with a mobile tool to continuously monitor vital signs, thus increasing the connection doctor-patient relationship. For hospitals, they reduce maintenance costs due to the possibility of patients being monitored from their homes. This project aims to identify mechanisms that can respond effectively to the need for information sharing, including the communications protocols, security and integration systems. A prototype was designed, consisting of a middleware and a mobile client application where the middleware's mission is to ensure interoperability between an HL7 server and client application, used by health professionals. The standardization of medical information exchanged between the server and HL7 middleware follows the international standard HL7.
