PROJETO SAÚDE DO INTERIOR: DESENVOLVIMENTO E APLICAÇÃO DE UM SISTEMA VOLTADO À GESTÃO DA SAÚDE RURAL

Abstract

This research presents the development of the Saúde do Interior system, created to support health agents in visits to rural areas with limited or no internet connectivity. The main objective is to describe the operation of the solution and analyze its application in public health management in remote regions. The study considers both technical aspects and the context of rural health, based on practices observed in the Municipal Health Department of Professor Jamil – GO. The methodological approach combines descriptive and exploratory methods, allowing the system’s structure to be detailed and the technologies suitable for its implementation to be investigated.

The results indicate that the system enables the recording and management of patient data in areas with limited connectivity, organizing information by regions, families, patients, and services. Features such as data synchronization, local storage using SQFLite, and an interface developed in Flutter make offline operation possible, addressing the initial challenges. The analysis of use cases demonstrates how the system assists health professionals in collecting and monitoring patient information, promoting a structured and efficient approach.

In addition, the research identifies challenges and opportunities in the use of mobile technologies to improve rural health management, considering connectivity, data storage, and information security. Future work proposes integration with a centralized web platform, expansion of functionalities, and inclusion of new modules and reports to enhance public health management in remote areas.
