Uma Abordagem Ubíqua Consciente de Situação para Avaliação de Metas Terapêuticas em Ambiente Hospitalar
Abstract
The medication therapy process in the hospital environment is complex and error prone. We consider that the use of technology can automate the verification of this process, reducing the number of errors during the treatment. Thus, this work proposes a software architecture aimed to providing the patient’s current situation-awareness, called EXEHDA-TG. As a central contribution, this work provides the monitoring of the patient’s vital signs, allowing the physician to confirm that it is being reached desired effect with the administration of medications. In the developed architecture, this effect desired by physicians in vital parameters is called Therapeutic Goal. The evaluation of EXEHDA-TG was taken through three usage scenarios. The results have been satisfactory in the analysis of the evolution of vital signs.
