Management and monitoring of patients in their diet’s nutrition using a website

Abstract

Currently, most of the world's population have different pathologies that prevent them from being active in their daily activities, so nutrition professionals oversee advising a nutritious and healthy diet, but to be able to do so, they require enough resources such as time to carry out the different non-automated processes where the information of the patients is taken through a medical record, which contains anthropometric, biochemical, clinical and dietary data. This work aims to implement a web system that allows for managing and monitoring patients' nutritional diets. We applied the agile project management methodology Extreme Programming (XP) to maintain a proper organization in the implementation of the software product. Also, ISO/IEC25010 was used to measure usability and performance efficiency. Regarding the methods used, descriptive statistics were used, non-parametric statistics using the Tukey test. As a result of the performance efficiency, 86% of the performance was obtained in the processes carried out by the nutritionist, allowing them to reduce 53.86 minutes in patient care. On the other hand, the usability level was reached at 94%. It is concluded with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%, there is equality of the sub-characteristics of usability since it has made it possible to speed up the process of nutritional assessment of patients.
