Aplicativo para alta segura do recém-nascido

Abstract

The transition from the hospital environment to the home, marked by the discharge of the newborn, is a critical moment that requires an integrated approach and continuous support. This moment requires clinical accuracy and ensures referral and follow-up of the newborn and their family arrangements. Through safe discharge, some aspects essential to the safety, survival and quality of life of these social actors are assessed. In this scenario, the following guiding question was asked: What are the necessary requirements for the development of an application for the safe discharge of newborns? This study seeks to understand the main requirements for the development of an application on safe discharge of newborns. This is a methodological study that consisted of developing a health technology aimed at the safe discharge of newborns. The technology developed is characterized as m-health, also considered a care technology, as it aims to mediate the discharge procedure for the newborn patient. To fully carry out this study, three phases were followed guided by the Technology Readiness Level (TRL), which consists of a tool for analyzing technology maturity. Phase I of idealization corresponded to stages 0 of prior research, stage one with literature review and stage two with survey of content, requirements, needs and features of the app with professionals working in neonatology. Phase II of prototyping covered step 3 of formulating the appearance, requirements and needs and step 4 of developing the application prototype. Finally, Phase III of registration, with step five of forwarding for registration with the National Institute of Intellectual Property. Knowledge of the main requirements for developing a health application requires technical and scientific commitment, with technological in-depth and long-term commitment. Above the offer of a tool with content on newborn health, discussions and contributions were added regarding the development of technology, which adds, in addition to the use of innovative technological references such as the Technology Readiness Level, the compilation of knowledge about health neonatal care, the emphasis on safety in neonatology and the transition of care, the search for references that support the construction of health technologies and the combination of different methods in the search for the construction of knowledge in nursing.
