Diseño e implementación de un sistema de seguimiento de tratamientos fisioterapéuticos. Caso de estudio: GYMES

Abstract

Abstract: This work describes the development of a web system for the management automated records of physiotherapy treatments at the Gymes Medical Center, Quito. Given the need to optimize medical information management, traditionally performed manually, a system was proposed that improves efficiency and precision in monitoring physiotherapy sessions. Using agile development methodologies and UWE (UML-based Web Engineering), a technological solution was designed and implemented that incorporates tools such as PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Bootstrap, ensuring Responsiveness and adaptability to different devices. The project ranged from a systematic literature review to the development and system tests. The process of gathering and analyzing requirements, design to through UML diagrams and the implementation of the solution, culminating in a phase of evidence. Test results revealed positive acceptance of the system with certain areas identified for improvements in usability and interface. The discussion focuses on critical aspects in software design, the selection of technologies and tools, and the importance of comprehensive testing. The system achieved the established objectives, providing an effective tool for information management at the Gymes Medical Center. It is suggested the adoption of advanced PHP frameworks for future improvements in code structure, maintenance and security, and optimization of the user interface and adoption more extensive DevOps practices.
