Protótipo de interface mobile para acompanhamento de pacientes de cirurgia bariátrica

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is excess body fat, in an amount that causes damage to health. A person is considered obese when their Body Mass Index (BMI) is greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 and the normal weight range varies between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2. (World Health Organization). In Brazil, in 2019, one in four people aged 18 or over was obese, equivalent to 41 million people (IBGE). Which demonstrates an urgent need for food reeducation, sports practices or in case of health problems, the search for a professional. The health professional, in cases where the patient cannot lose weight in conventional ways, may choose to perform bariatric surgery. Due to the large accumulation of information and details present in this exam, we seek to develop a prototype of a mobile interface that will monitor the pre- and post-operative process of patients and doctors. Since at the University Hospital of the city of Uberlândia, it was necessary to organize the information related to this type of surgery, which were being stored in pen and paper, this prototype aims to monitor the progress of the patient's bariatric surgery process, being able to verify appointments, view exam status (scheduled, unscheduled), search for guidelines related to the pre and post surgical process, in addition to exchanging information with health professionals in the area. During the work development process, we sought to meet with the nursing sector of the Hospital Das Clinicas de Uberlândia to understand the real needs of the reported problem. A literature search was carried out in order to know the existing applications in the area to understand operating patterns, visual strategies used and even functionalities in the case of an application implementation. The concepts that govern the project are User Interface and User Experience, the first being the part of the process that is concerned with user interaction with the interface, visual strategies, icon and color choices. And the second is concerned with the user's reactions, their emotional state before using the prototype, during and their level of satisfaction after using it. In order to deepen the knowledge of the concepts mentioned above, the following applications were analyzed: Barilife, PromMera, SeamlessMD, Baritastic. All these are applications aimed at the same area of monitoring information related to gastroplasty surgery and, therefore, will serve as a basis for searching for information, ideas and parameters for the creation of BariUFU. The mobile interface prototype developed was developed in Figma software, which is a tool widely used by professionals in the UX and UI area, as well as Adobe XD. A differential that was fundamental for the use of Figma is that in its free version it has all the necessary functionalities for the development of the interface and it is still possible for the user to simulate the use of a future application. Finally, the final result of the work is shown, with the interface screens and the details of each one of them, from the construction strategies such as overlay, colors used, chosen icons, even the functionalities of each button on the screen and the desired interaction in a possible implementation of the work in an application.
