Abstract
The aim of this article was to show an Electronic Health Record for elderly patients that was prepared for tablets with Android system. The program can be used in case of collecting patient data that comes from the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment – the multidisciplinary diagnostic tool which is performed among older adults in hospital and outpatient settings. The application was designed for devices with Android system using JellyBean, Kitkat or Lollipop system version. The app allowed to perform, save, edit, view and send survey results. Additionally, it had an option of creating an account with different permission levels. The program was created to facilitate and accelerate the work of a physician who is obliged to complete a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment card with the patient. It was intended to replace the filling out of a paper questionnaire, in which the doctor must personally sum up all the results, with a tool that will be available on tablets and which enables to complete and evaluate the results of medical examination faster than during performing the questionnaire in a traditional way.
