Proposal of a Counseling Application on Care of Children Admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Room and Discharged

Abstract

In this research article we focus on children because they are very prone to contracting diseases due to hereditary disease as well as contracting a virus among others, that is why we seek to design a mobile application for counseling or care in children admitted to emergency and have been discharged, The problem encountered is due to the fact that when the patients are discharged, many times they are not given the constant follow-up that they should have since they were hospitalized in emergency rooms, that is why the proposed solution is the development of the mobile application where each patient is monitored and also providing advice on their care for their speedy recovery, which is the primary function of the creation of the mobile application. In this work the research objective is to help many children to have a speedy recovery with the required care advised by their assigned doctor through the application. The methodology used is Design Thinking since each of its phases is perfectly coupled for the development of the application where as a first phase empathizes with the user so that then it is defined, as a third step the solution to the problem is devised so that then the prototype is created and finally the evaluative test where it will observe its correct operation, The result obtained is the prototype of the mobile application for the care and recommendations of each patient who has been discharged from the hospital where many children will benefit since an older adult will monitor their progress together with the doctor through the mobile application. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
