Abstract

The impact of technological development has been undeniable in recent years, having a great impact on different areas, whether business or social; institutions that provide health services are no exception, as most of them make use of technological tools and computer systems that help them to manage the activities they must carry out. The implementation of a multi-platform web system is the main objective of this research project. The application has a series of functions that help to manage activities such as: registration of appointments, filtering of available schedules, sending WhatsApp’ messages reminders of assigned appointments, as well as the administration of data and clinical history of patients that were previously done manually. The web system was developed with a real-time execution environment based on JavaScript called node.js, which allowed the implementation of the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture and provides a cross-platform environment. The database manager used was MariaDB which guarantees security and accessibility to data while protecting the integrity of these, the implementation was done on a server in the cloud that has Linux operating system specifically the Alma Linux distro under the domain novadentsalud.com. The Extreme Programming (XP) methodology was applied to control the application development process for better management of activities.
