Abstract:

One of the frequent situations which arise in a health center, which creates many inconveniences to the users of health services, is the process of appointments to the various specialized issue. Although it has been designed and implemented many channels of care to obtain appointments, this is still a crucial problem; on the other hand, it is known that the use of mobile devices becomes more usually in the daily activities of the people. In this paper we propose the prototype of a mobile application that allows users a fast and autonomous way to obtain an appointment in the speciality that they require using external devices called Beacons with Bluetooth Low Energy technology, as well as, manage more efficiently resources are there in the health center.
