Desenvolvimento de um protótipo de aplicativo para plataforma móvel em boas práticas de microscopia urinária

Abstract

Microscopic analysis of urine is an important diagnostic method used in the clinical practice of urinalysis. Being one of the main steps that make up the routine urine test known as EAS (Abnormal Elements and Sediment), this method is extremely relevant, being able to identify and show elements of the urinary sediment that participate in the monitoring of diseases and infections that affect the urinary tract. The correct interpretation of cellular elements and microscopic structures present in the urine sample requires technical knowledge and specific skills on the part of the responsible professional. The lack of standardization and ignorance of good practices can lead to inaccurate and potentially harmful results for patients. In this context, this dissertation has as its main objective the elaboration and development of an application prototype for a mobile platform on good practices in urinary microscopy, which is capable of proposing guidelines for good practices in urinary microscopy, aiming to improve the quality of results and the safety of the patient. With the implementation and development of the mobile interactive application prototype, the aim is to improve the specific technical learning of theoretical and practical concepts in urinalysis, making the process steps more accessible, efficient, capable of bringing an approach with critical, interactive analysis meeting the new proposals and new didactic models of contemporary teaching and learning that use technological tools and methodologies of digital studies in health as methods capable of enriching processes, promoting greater understanding, dissemination of knowledge and development of specific skills in the scope of their laboratory practices. During the study, the platform was developed with a mobile application prototype, housed in an easy-to-use technology, totally intuitive and free for users with prior registration, through login and password. The development of this study in the elaboration of this prototype of application was able to demonstrate the importance and concern in improving the performance of the professionals involved in the stages of analysis of the urinary sediment, enabling them to better elaborate the reports in Uroanalysis through the technological use of the prototype of application.
