description Introduction: The article derives from the research “Implementation of a mobile application to facilitate self-control of hypertension in Panama” conducted in 2016 and 2017 at the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, in the province of Chiriquí.Aim:  To develop a mobile application that allows the self-control and self-management of hypertensive patient data in Panama through mobile and biometric devices.Methods: A mobile application that allows patient self-control of hypertension using his mobile device was designed. The information generated by the device was captured from a sphygmomanometer and stored locally and remotely. This information was linked to the AmIHealth platform.Results: Use and acceptance of the proposal by users was assessed through the analysis of data based on the downloads from the Google’s Firebase Suite.Conclusions: This solution provides a tool that facilitates patient self-control of hypertension and data management by health specialists, thus helping decision-making.Originality: Panama does not have a basic patient data management system like the one developed.Limitations: This study considered only applications or solutions in the Panamanian environment because most existing applications are proprietary and not manageable by health institutions in each country.

La información generada por el dispositivo se capturó desde un tensiómetro y se almacenó de forma local y remota. Esta información se enlazó con la plataforma AmIHealth.Resultados: se evaluó la aceptación de la propuesta por parte de los usuarios a través del análisis de datos basados en las descargas generadas con Firebase de la Suite de Google, lo que demostró su uso y aceptación.Conclusiones: esta solución provee una herramienta que facilita el autocontrol del paciente, así como la gestión de datos por especialistas en el área de salud, lo que facilita la toma de decisiones.Originalidad: en Panamá no se cuenta con ningún sistema de gestión de datos básicos de pacientes como el que se desarrolló.Limitaciones: en este estudio se han contemplado solo aplicaciones o soluciones en el entorno panameño, ya que la mayoría de las aplicaciones que existen son de uso propietario, y no son administrables por las entidades de salud de cada país.Introdução: este artigo é produto da pesquisa “Implementação de uma aplicação móvel para facilitar o autocontrole da hipertensão no Panamá”, realizada em 2016 e 2017, na Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, em Chiriquí.Objetivo: desenvolver uma aplicação móvel que permita o autocontrole e a autogestão de dados de pessoas com problemas de hipertensão arterial no Panamá por meio de dispositivos móveis e biométricos.Metodologia: desenhou-se a aplicação móvel que permitisse o autocontrole do paciente por meio de seu dispositivo móvel. A informação gerada pelo dispositivo foi capturada de um tensiômetro e armazenada de forma local e remota. Essa informação foi vinculada com a plataforma AmIHealth.Resultados: foi avaliada a aceitação da proposta por parte dos usuários por meio da análise de dados baseada nos downloads gerados com Firebase da Suite do Google, o que demonstrou seu uso e aceitação.Conclusões: essa solução oferece uma ferramenta que facilita o autocontrole do paciente bem como a gestão de dados por especialistas na área de saúde, o que ajuda na tomada de decisões.Originalidade: no Panamá, não se conta com nenhum sistema de gestão de dados básicos de pacientes como o desenvolvido.Limitações: neste estudo, abrangeram-se somente aplicações ou soluções no contexto panamenho, já que a maioria das aplicações existentes é de uso proprietário e não é administrada pelas entidades de saúde de cada país.application/pdfspaUniversidad Cooperativa de Colombiahttps://revistas.ucc.edu.co/index.php/in/article/view/2156/2339https://revistas.ucc.edu.co/index.php/in/article/view/2156/2506Copyright (c) 2017 Journal of Engineering and Educationhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Ingeniería Solidaria; Vol 14 No 24 (2018); 1-12Ingeniería Solidaria; Vol. 14 Núm. 24 (2018); 1-12Ingeniería Solidaria; v. 14 n. 24 (2018); 1-122357-60141900-3102Implementation of a Mobile Application to Facilitate Self-Control of Hypertension in PanamaImplementación de una aplicación móvil para facilitar el autocontrol de la hipertensión en PanamáImplementação de uma aplicação móvel para facilitar o autocontrole da hipertensão no PanamáArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPublication20.500.12494/9429oai:repository.ucc.edu.co:20.500.12494/94292024-07-16 13:26:18.889metadata.onlyhttps://repository.ucc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad Cooperativa de Colombiabdigital@metabiblioteca.com
