Abstract

Equine therapy is a therapeutic procedure that integrates and unifies various knowledge and strategies from the fields of health and education applied to the practice of horseback riding as a therapeutic procedure, focusing on the physical and psychological development of the participant. Therefore, it is widely used in cases of cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, behavioral disorders, autism, and various other cases of motor, social, and emotional impairment. Recognizing the importance and social need for free and quality hippotherapy services, the Federal Institute of Goiano - Ceres Campus maintains a specialized equine therapy center on its premises, offering services to the entire internal and external community of the campus. One of the tools used to measure and assess the pathologies of hippotherapy participants is the medical record, which is responsible for storing the participant's identification information and various medical data necessary for the patient's care process. As information technology advances, its use as an innovative tool in various fields is increasingly growing, providing techniques and resources to aid in data processing, storage, and security. The use of information technology resources applied to the field of equine therapy, through a web platform, aims to facilitate the management process of all information related to the services, ensuring greater efficiency and convenience in procedures such as registration, access to information, data changes, and enrollment of new participants, medical records, professionals, and animals used for the treatments. Considering the use of information technology tools, the objective of this work was to develop a web application capable of managing electronic medical records of equine therapy participants, facilitating the control and treatment of information used throughout all stages of the screening and treatment process for the participants.
