Abstract

This research was built on the idea of creating and developing an application that helps Physical Education Professionals in the management and control of patients undergoing physical rehabilitation treated in the rehabilitation sectors of University Hospitals of the Brazilian Company of Hospital Services. The MoveSUS web application is a pilot project initiative in the Graduate Program in Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences at the Federal University of Santa Maria/RS, in the field of Technological Innovation in Health, which was intended together with the University Hospitals of the Brazilian Company of Hospital Services, create new technologies that can help in the management and follow-up of patients assisted in the sector. The main objective of the software is to act as a guide in the monitoring, management and control over the services performed by Physical Education Professionals in the rehabilitation sectors of Teaching Hospitals, which in the future may serve the Management Application for University Hospitals AGHU that the Brazilian Company of Hospital Services uses. The application under development offers health professionals a dynamic medical record, with monitoring and progress of patients, presents electronic calculators for evaluations of the body composition of patients, evaluations and measurements, guidance and personalized guidelines according to the physical characteristics of each patient. The software presents a chronological evolution of training, graphs with different evaluation measures, among them: anthropometric, physiological and biochemical variables and an evaluation of the level of physical activity of each patient before the beginning of rehabilitation methods. This dissertation evaluated initial data collected from the responses of the Initial Questionnaire that served to create the application, where it was possible to identify the real technological needs and reality of these professionals. In the third stage, the usability evaluation tests of the MoveSUS web application were performed through the international usability questionnaire for mHealth-type applications (MAUQ), a standardized instrument for this type of research, which was translated into Portuguese containing statements distributed in 3 parts, ease of use, interface and satisfaction and usefulness. The application usability evaluation data were collected from the responses obtained in the MAUQ, and considering the agreement scale from 1 to 7, the overall average for the ease of use item was 5.9, for the interface and satisfaction item it was 6 .1 and in the utility item it was 6.4. The Physical Education Professionals responded by evaluating their browsing experience in MoveSUS, and it was possible to conclude that, in general, these professionals approved, agreed and stated that the MoveSUS web application is useful for their professional demands in the rehabilitation sectors. These data demonstrate that the application has potential and that the technology will certainly be able to contribute to the care of patients treated at the University Hospitals of the Brazilian Company of Hospital Services in the future.
