Abstract

This research and software development project, is carried out based on a problem about the clinical context in Bogotá D.C., Colombia. It seeks through a web and mobile application, to inform citizens who are looking for, or moving to an emergency room, about the population status in which it is at the moment, in order to reduce the number of patients present in there by proposing some less saturated centers to the user. The latter, in order to expose a possible solution to the health crisis that exists in the city and the overcrowding that occurs especially in its medical centers.
