Resumo
The aging of the world population has been taking place in recent decades as result
of the decrease in birth rates and better health care that allows for an increase in
life expectancy. Senile dementias are examples of diseases that can affect the
elderly, reducing independence and self-care. With the presence of women in the
labor market and the reduced number of children, the elderly must often live under
the care of others who have professional experience to provide appropriate medical
care, but lack of contact with the family and unfamiliarity with habits and tastes can
reduce the quality of life of the elderly. Technological advances must be used to
reduce the distance between families, caregivers, doctors and the elderly. The
objective of this work is to develop an application for mobile devices that facilitates
communication between health service providers for the elderly residing in long-stay
institutions. The CuidaLife application was developed for a software operating
system with input modules for registering elderly people, family members, doctors
and caregivers. The developed application can be accessed through any
smartphone, tablet or computer, as long as it has internet access. Its layout is
responsive, that is, it adjusts according to the screen size of the equipment. The
elderly registration modules were designed to allow the exchange of information
about the elderly not only medical, but also including food preferences, habits that
are important for daily well-being and exchange of personal photos between family
and elderly. The caregivers module allows the exchange of information between
caregivers' shifts, with information relevant to the care of the elderly, and the medical
module allows access to health information relevant to the monitoring of the elderly.
The application worked well and can represent an easy and safe way to improve the
quality of life of individuals who depend on third parties for their care.
