Abstract

O tratamento do diabetes, em geral, requer monitoração rigorosa, com consultas e exames frequentes, além de autocontrole rigoroso da glicemia através de dieta controlada e medições diárias da glicose. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o desenvolvimento e o teste de um aplicativo móvel desenvolvido para auxiliar o diabético mais profundamente no autoconhecimento, no aprendizado da doença e na escolha consciente de alimentos.O procedimento para o desenvolvimento consistiu em: levantamento e análise de aplicativos móveis relacionados ao diabetes; aplicação de um questionário ao público-alvo; definição de funcionalidades e arquitetura da informação; prototipagem de interface gráfica; desenvolvimento daaplicação; e teste de usabilidade. Este trabalho resultou na aplicação ‘Querida Diabetes’, que inclui as funcionalidades essenciais para um melhor controle do diabetes, apresentando uma interface inovadora e intuitiva.

(The treatment of diabetes, in general, requires strict monitoring, with frequent consultations and examinations, together with strict self-control of blood glucose through controlled diet and daily glucose measurements. This paper aims to present the development and testing of a mobile application was designed to assist the diabetic more fully in self-knowledge, in learning the disease and in the conscious choice of food. The procedure for the development consisted of: survey and analysis of mobile applications related to diabetes; application of a questionnaire to the target audience; definition of functionalities and information architecture; graphic interface prototyping; application development; usability testing. This work resulted in the Querida Diabetes (Dear Diabetes) application, which includes the essential functionalities for better diabetes control, presenting an innovative and intuitive interface.)
