Development of a Web Application for the control of human rabies in Peru

Abstract: With the advance of Information and Communication Technologies, different processes are being improved so that they can be optimized and reliable information can be obtained to make the best decisions. Therefore, in the process of human rabies control in Peru, it is very important to have a record of the vaccines that must be completed according to the vaccination schedule assigned to the patient. The stored information should be accessible to the health personnel in charge of patient care in any of the micro-networks. In this work, a web application called "Rabies Vaccine" was developed with the aim of controlling the vaccination of patients who have been bitten by an animal that transmits rabies, for this purpose a record of the patient will be made and, if necessary, the health personnel will assign a vaccination schedule that the patient must comply with. The developed prototype of the web application was implemented in the Miraflores Health Center of the Edificadores Misti Micro-Network, which belongs to the Arequipa - Caylloma Health Network, located in the district of Miraflores, Arequipa, Peru, in order to improve vaccination control. Finally, the results of the performance tests that were used to measure the influence of the web application will be shown. For these tests, observation sheets were used where records of before and after the web application was used were kept and they were called "Pre-test" and "Post-test". This web application has more secure and reliable data, it is scalable so that it can be used by other health centers and easy to access with only internet access.
