Abstract
The patient’s medical record, containing the reasons for hospitalization, clinical evolution, laboratory tests, prescription drugs and other relevant information is of utmost importance to medical management care. Information technology plays a key role in communicating and disseminating the patient’s clinical data [1]. The Sana Mobile, originally developed by MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for mobile platform, consists of an open source electronic medical record. It has revolutionized the delivery of healthcare services in remote areas in a clear and objective way [2]. The mobile device stores Sana medical data, text files, audio and video containing patient’s clinical information while transmitting data over the mobile platform to a web server, the Open Medical Record System – OpenMRS. This system gathers information about medications, diagnoses, and others crucial data from a patient, making them available to consultations by many medical experts.
Our tests with Sana Mobile - OpenMRS focus on the development of an experimental extension of this mobile platform and its use in supporting education and training of medical students encompassing routine free ambulatory care and multidisciplinary research project. Participating in this study are researches and students of Software Engineering, Medicine and Design, respectively Software Engineering Lab - LES of the Department of Informatics of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro - PUC-Rio, the School of Medicine and Surgery of the State University of Rio de Janeiro - UNIRIO which includes Gaffrée and Guinle University Hospital - HUGG, Laboratory of Ergonomics and Usability - LEUI of the Department of Arts and Design at PUC-Rio, under the coordination of LES.
This work has been sponsored by the Ministério de Ciência e Tecnologia da Presidência da República Federativa do Brasil by the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico – CNPq, process number 560110/2010-3.
