Abstract

This work deals with an interdisciplinary area between Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine and Health. We will study and analyze different computational methods and technologies for the development of applications and software for use in the follow-up and monitoring of health conditions. Particularly, different Operating Systems (MS-WINDOWS, Apple IOS, LINUX), system development tools (e.g. PHP, JAVA, DOT NET, Slack, Axure, NODE-JS, JIRA, etc.) and databases (MYSQL, ORACLE, SQL server). After these studies, which will be focused on TECHNOLOGIES, the area of application in MEDICINE will be studied. More specifically, health conditions related to SYSTEMIC ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION (SAH). After understanding the main conditions related to this diagnosis, such as signs, symptoms, control, monitoring, use of blood pressure meters, etc., we will draw a model and develop a software application app related to this health condition.
