Abstract
The medical assistance is an area that is in constant adaptation to the technological advances in the last decades, specifically in communications and information technology. Telemedicine has been following the growth of mobile and wireless technologies promoting a broad medical care and self-care access to patients with difficulties. However, several challenges still hamper the acceptability of solutions that offer treatment aid. The adaptation of technology to the patient’s everyday life in a noninvasive and secure way are some of those challenges. In order to minimize these problems, the development of a mobile tool for medical assistance based on a User-centered approach and communications standards is proposed in this paper.
