DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE FOR THE MONITORING OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Abstract

Objective: To develop software for monitoring clinical parameters, indicative of impaired functionality in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis. Method: This is a methodological study with technology production, guided by the software engineering processes proposed by Pressman, based on the systems development life cycle. Results: Simple interfaces were built, prototyping of start screens, registration of professionals, registration of patients and registration of research instruments (questions, answers and scores). Conclusion: It is believed that the prototype contributes as a technological tool capable of computerizing the data necessary for systematic care, however, the development path is long and complex, involving simulation testing, usability and operability assessment, repetition of cycles, realization new studies that will portray its usefulness, adequacy and improvement.
