CLINICROOM®: mínimo produto viável de sistema para gestão dos consultórios em um Hospital Universitário

Abstract

Introduction: The appropriate infrastructure of health units plays an essential role in the functioning of the system, being decisive for the efficiency of care. In public service, this issue becomes even more critical, as the scarcity of suitable physical spaces directly impacts the effectiveness of the assistance provided. With technological advancement, more efficient digital systems are being developed, capable of providing quick access to information and supporting strategic decisions. However, despite such innovations, there are still challenges to be overcome, such as limitations in data control and real-time monitoring of office occupancy. The MVP integrates an iterative process — involving product development, distribution, and feedback collection. In this scenario, the need to develop an automated solution focused on managing the occupancy of shared offices becomes evident. Objective: Develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of a system for managing the occupation of shared offices by multiple professionals simultaneously. Methodology: This research is characterized as a study of technological production, with the purpose of developing an MVP for the management of multiprofessional service offices. The research was conducted in three stages: 1. Literature review to contextualize the problem and identify existing related solutions; 2. prospecting for computer program registrations and patents to verify the existence of similar technologies; 3. Development of the MVP, based on the data from the previous stages. In the literature review, standardized descriptors DeCS/MeSH were used, applied in BVS, PubMed, and SciELO databases, focusing on health management systems, physical space occupancy, and multiprofessional scheduling. The prior art search was conducted on the INPI, Espacenet, Play Store, and App Store. The prototype of the interface was developed using Figma Design® software. Results: The research showed that the identified records did not meet the proposed scope, as no system included specific functionalities for the real-time management of shared room occupancy. Based on this finding, the MVP of the Clinicroom® system was developed. The system includes a graphical dashboard that displays real-time information about room occupancy and availability, organized by shifts and days of the week, allowing for a quick and efficient visualization of the use of consulting rooms. The resulting article was submitted to the journal Cadernos de Prospecção, linked to the Federal University of Bahia. The brand was registered with the INPI, and the software registration was submitted to the Innovation and Technology Transfer Agency of the Federal University of Sergipe (AGITTE/UFS). Conclusions: The brand of the system was registered with the INPI under number 939329611. The development of the MVP of Clinicroom® represents a significant advancement in health management, addressing the growing demand for specialized digital solutions. As a future perspective, the evolution of the platform is highlighted with the integration of AIoTs (Artificial Intelligence of Things) technologies, such as the incorporation of smart lights and motion sensors, the possibility of remote booking of offices, in addition to the inclusion of modules such as reports, indicators, and automatic notifications for managers. Validation and usability and functionality testing of the system is planned at the outpatient service of the Universitário Hospital of Sergipe. A limitation to notes is the requirement for an internet connection for the software to function, what can be a challenge in contexts with limited technological infrastructure.
