SOFTWARE PARA AUXILIAR EM ANÁLISES QUANTITATIVAS DE RECÉM-NASCIDOS NA REGIÃO DO VALE DO SÃO PATRÍCIO

Abstract

The application of Information and Communication Technologies has driven progress in various fields, including public health. The Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) provides public data that are essential for monitoring epidemiological indicators, such as those related to neonatal health, which is the focus of this study. This information is crucial for conducting efficient analyses that support the development of public health policies at the local, regional, or national level. Real-world data can be transformed into optimizations for better demographic resource allocation by understanding the social and economic realities of a region. Moreover, data-based decisions gain credibility, as they are grounded in statistics and measurable indicators. This study aims to develop a digital tool for the visualization and quantitative analysis of newborns in the Vale do São Patrício region, using DATASUS as the primary data source. The tool enables epidemiological studies to be interpreted and supports local decision-making processes.
