Abstract

The aim was to describe the construction of a software for recording, monitoring, and evaluating wounds. It is a technological production research containing software development. It was carried out in three stages: project management through the Scrum tool, software construction, content validation and pre-test. As a result, the app was built after reviewing the literature in databases. The management system allowed registering patients, performing the assessment, and monitoring of the evolution of the lesions through images and other tools, such as graphs of the results of the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk and Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. In addition, information about coverage and treatment alternatives is available. The development of an initial prototype allowed the exploration of ideas, before investing in production, helping to save time and resources, modulating the final product to be developed according to the needs of the target audience. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that the construction of the software meets the need for recording, monitoring, and evaluating wounds. The prospects are that it can also be used to carry out realistic simulation and training, in addition to having easy access and handling.
