Description
Summary:In this article, we want to present a platform that allows the integration of different applications for the follow-up of patients with chronic diseases. We are developing two elements: the first one, is a mobile application that allows the capture and processing of vital sign for patient with high blood pressure (hypertension). This application allows to store the patient data obtained, the show historical and trends of the stored measures, a list of foods to consume, alerts and recommendations according to ranges of measures obtained. The second one, is a web application, this application allows the doctor and patients relatives to have updated information of the disease behavior through the measures obtained, food consumed, and others. Through this web application, we can also generate statistics about average measures in a given time, by age, by region, by specific date.
