Paper Abstract:
|
The goal of this research was to conceptualise a system that answers to an emerging health care need: connecting women during puerperium with different users, namely: midwife, obstetrician, paediatrician, breastfeeding consultant, physical therapist, family nurse and doctor, psychologist, and informal caregiver. Those are the stakeholders, along with her family and the Portuguese Health System, since the implementation of this system could improve women's health and well-being, reduce costs with obstetric, psychiatric and general healthcare, and contribute to the positive after birth experience and breastfeeding rates, since: it enables the communication of women with different users of the system and between them it allows them to upload up to date data/results/exams, accessible by different users who might need it for a customised and integrative diagnosis/treatment and, it is accessible online, allowing women´s constant and physically distant follow-up. The use cases diagram and flows of the system, along with the interface design of a mobile app were created. |
