Contributos para o Desenvolvimento de uma Plataforma Web para Sistema de Consultas por Telemedicina

Abstract

Currently, Telemedicine is the practice of remote medical care through video and/or voice calls. It is especially useful for populations living in rural areas or for people who suffer from mobility difficulties. This project aims to create a portable telemedicine device focused on physical medicine and rehabilitation, allowing the patient to use it in his family environment without having to turn to a health professional. The already existing prototype yet requires the development of a medical communication platform with the patient. My contribution consists in the study and development of the platform in terms of user experience, as well as the incorporation of some functionalities on it, such as video communication and demonstrative instructions from the doctor to the patient.
