Protocolo apoiado em tecnologia para monitoramento de pacientes ambulatoriais de psiquiatria

Abstract

In Brazil and around the world, there is an increasing demand for mental health care, which has become one of the leading causes of work-related disability. Innovative care models are necessary to address challenges such as poor treatment adherence, misinformation, and therapeutic discontinuation. This study developed and evaluated a technological platform for monitoring psychiatric patients, integrating psychoeducation tools and psychometric scales with the goal of enhancing the efficiency of psychiatric care and facilitating interaction between professionals and patients. The methodology employed a mixed approach, combining a comprehensive literature review with iterative development guided by the Scrum framework. The literature review focused on studies related to Measurement-Based Care (MBC), as detailed in specialized sources, to establish the significance and efficacy of psychometric scales in psychiatric monitoring. Additionally, the platform's development emphasized the practical and accessible integration of these tools. Preliminary findings suggest that the platform can improve treatment adherence, optimize communication between clinicians and patients, and support continuous and effective monitoring. Within the scope of the bibliographic review, the proposed platform consists of an innovative solution in the field of mental health care, with the potential to contribute to the reduction of therapeutic abandonment, the increase in adherence and the promotion of more efficient and personalized psychiatric care.
