Resumen
The healthcare sector is rapidly embracing digitization to improve processes and patient care.
However, the Mental Health Area of the Welfare Directorate at the University of Cuenca still
faces challenges with digital documents and paper records, which affect patient care and
administrative tasks. This thesis work proposes a software development solution using an
agile approach, incorporating User-Centered Design and a three-tier architecture. Two web
applications are developed using Streamlit as the presentation layer, Python for the service
layer, and PostgreSQL for the database. A usability evaluation is conducted using the System
Usability Scale SUS for the self-report questionnaire application and user experience is
evaluated using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) for the patient management and
medical records application. The chosen technologies, including Streamlit and the three-tier
architecture, successfully facilitated the development of the applications. User evaluations
demonstrated efficient questionnaire completion and high user satisfaction. The adapted
methodology facilitated understanding of workflows, and the architecture allowed for modular
and maintainable code. Future work includes expanding the user evaluation pool, data
encryption, and adding features to enhance system functionality and usability.
