• Resumen

  • The standardization of assessment processes leads to increased efficiency in healthcare practice. Fundamentally, this is due to the fact that it facilitates the application of appropriate clinical reasoning processes and bias-free decision making. As a result of this situation, it is necessary and very useful to develop a multiplatform application to guide physiotherapists in the assessment process as a strategy to facilitate clinical reasoning in rehabilitation. This program will show in an organized way all the validated clinical tests and tests suitable for physiotherapy assessment, will record and compile all the relevant results and will facilitate the selection of the physiotherapy diagnosis. The present project aims to transform a procedure that is currently performed manually (storing all the information on paper and consuming time and resources of health personnel), into a fully automatic and digitized process thanks to the use of disruptive technologies such as computer engineering and engineering and data science through artificial intelligence techniques.
