SUMMARY:

Introduction: The UP Feridas app presents itself as an easy and agile innovative proposal for
the tracking of wounds of vascular origin by health professionals in Primary Care. Diabetic foot
ulcers (UPD) are the main cause of lower limb amputation, due to lack of prevention, diagnosis
and late treatment. Amputation, therefore, is an irreversible complication with extreme
physical, mental and social implications. UPDs precede 85% of amputations and Diabetes
Mellitus is the main cause of lower extremity amputations. Objective: To develop an
application for mobile devices with usability in tracking diabetic foot wounds and varicose
ulcers. Method: Study on the technological development of a mobile application for tracking
patients with diabetic foot and varicose ulcers from the Primary Care of the Family Health
Program (PSF). Due to the specificity of technological knowledge required in the creation of
an application for mobile devices, all stages of the study were developed in a partnership
between I9Colab and PROFNIT and the research group CendoVascular linked to the Arthur
Ramos Memorial Hospital - HMAR. Results: 10 (ten) applications aimed at the care and
prevention of diabetic foot were identified and analyzed. The results demonstrate that the
applications found in the databases: patents, articles and in the Play Store, are related to the
clinical management of the diabetic patient, management and practical pocket guide for patients
with foot problems. However, none of them refers to the tracking of diabetic patients with
wounds of vascular origin in primary care, indicating the novelty of the proposed topic in terms
of patents filed in Brazil and via PCT. Conclusion: The application for mobile devices with
usability in wound tracking was developed.
