PharmEqui: a tool to improve the clinical practice regarding pharmacotherapy and drug utilization (original) (raw)

2018, Procedia Computer Science

Is extremely difficult to current methods to know how much intensive is the patient's pharmacotherapy and measure it. In this context, we have developed a method that can contribute to advances in clinical practice. The main objective was making this calculation method applicable to clinical practice, becoming it feasible in a computational program/applicative. The calculation method considers the maximum doses to treat a specific disease and the doses in use by the patient to provide a calculation of a specific correction factor. The software development technologies are as follows: Bulma, for responsiveness and style, and Angular Material, for style and searches on the database of disease and medication names. The logical development of the application was set up with Typescript language and Angular 5, a framework for multi-platform development for mobile and desktop. This software, basically, have three different pages. The result page shows a table with 4 columns: patient Identification, equivalence dose (obtained from the calculation quoted above), amount of medicines and, colour's classification of the patients from the highest doses to lowest doses. The software has achieved generate responses for the pharmacological treatment of different patients for a specific disease in different therapeutic levels.
