Abstract EN
The management of cancer patients’ symptoms in doctor consultations is a cornerstone in clinical care, this process being fundamental for the follow-up of the evolution of these.
This article presents an application that allows collecting periodically and systematically the data of cancer patients and their visualization by the medical team.
In this article, we made the analysis, design, implementation, and final evaluation by analyzing the correlation of this data collection with interaction patterns to determine how the user information can be enriched with information from the interaction patterns.
We have followed an agile methodology based on the iterative and incremental development of successive prototypes with increased fidelity, where the requirements and solutions have evolved over time according to the need and assessments made.
The comprehensive analysis of the patient’s condition allowed us to perform a first analysis of the correlation of the states of patients concerning mood, sleeping quality, and pain with the interaction patterns.
A future goal of this project is to optimize the process of data collection and the analysis of information.
Another future goal is to reduce the time dedicated to reporting the evolution of symptoms in face-to-face consultations and to help professionals in analyzing the patient’s evolution even in the period that has not been attended in person.
